But still , only few channels are getting 5.1 audio. And other SD channels having poor audio quality when comparing to other dth

This is the major drawback of dishtv that they are not offering 5.1 audio on majority of HD channels. Only 10 out of 50 HD channels has 5.1 audio....

I wonder is there any technical difficulty in providing 5.1 audio service or is it some kind of contractual issues with the broadcaster ?
