Satellite Service With 5.1 Sound? - 09/25/03 05:19 AM

Just bought new house with no cable; do any of the satellite services offer digital surround sound? 5.1 sound is more important to me than HDTV.

Thank you in advance.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but where ever you are (US, Canada, etc...) no station is broadcasting 100% of the time in 5.1 and all sat providers are broadcasting what is available in 5.1 ... it becomes a choice between who has the better prices and hardware. I have been happy with ExpressVu in Canada which uses the same hardware as the DiSH Network. Opinion vary!
