How can I receive high-definition (HD) satellite TV transmissions with Dolby Digital sound?
To receive high-definition programming transmitted via satellite, you will need an HD satellite receiver, and possibly a new dish. Most satellite receivers are equipped like most DVD-Video players: with a built-in, two-channel Dolby Digital decoder with analog stereo outputs and a Dolby Digital output for 5.1-channel sound with an external 5.1-channel Dolby Digital decoder unit.
