Thanks Rob--yes I am using toslink connection & 501 was setup to do both DD/PCM (even though i didn't know to do that--thanks). If I understand right--the shows may say DD but if it is not 5.1 then the receiver will not say DD on display, is that correct? Is there any way to know in advance if...
I have a denon 3802 & just hooked up a Dish Network 501 receiver mainly to take advantage of receiving DD sound from some of the programming. My question is that on the 3802 I do see the red DD light turn on with DD programming but on the display on 3802 where it shows the surround source it...

I am in process of buying my first HT setup. I have decided to wait & get denon 3802 when they are available along with klipsch reference speakers.
