You mean you like Dolby Digital and that's why you're away from DishTV because they don't have Dolby Digital on all the channels?Inspite of having ample space, dish hasnt added the basic Dolby surround in all the channels that has it and they were late to add star sports HD channels and their own sister's HD channels on the platform. Being an audiophile, on any day i would go for dish unless they add DD sound, the biggest drawback inspite of leader in HD channels.
Cisco had its STB division which later acquired by Technicolor.
