any 5.1 sound on non-HD channels?

Does Dish provide Dolby 5.1 sound on any of the non-HD channels? On everything I've checked so far I only get 2-channel PCM.

Sometimes on the Premium Channels.

I think some of the SD VOD & Pay Per View have 5.1 sound. There have to be some since dish bothered to put a Digital Audio output on the 522/625

Depends on the rcvr also on the dvr's and hd rcvr's at this time are even capable of doing this..
