If the original signal was composite any time in its earlier life, the dish receiver's delivering S-video to the TV isn't going to make things better. in fact the S-video delivery of what was an analog signal could give a worse picture if the comb filter in the dish receiver (needed to turn analog channels into S-video) is not as good as that in the TV.
Digital cable or satellite occasionally includes some composite signals that were compressed and digitized. Whether it is converted to S-video or Y/Pb/Pr prior to going out to the satellite or cable network, or is so converted in your dish receiver or cable box I am not sure, but a comb filter is needed.
