Yes, you will still get 1080i from HD sattelite receiver. That is the way I have my DirecTv set up with my Denon Receiver. There are only a few receivers that will convert the 1080i signal to 1080p through the HDMI cable. The super expensive Denon receiver is one them.
Your original question about connecting 6 analog cables for audio. The only problem with that is you either need to perform Bass Management (setting speakers to large, small, etc.) in the player or your receiver must have the ability to handle analog signals for bass management. Even if the receiver does it, it will probably convert the signals to digital and back to analog. Everytime you convert a signal from analog to digital and back to analog, you may end up with degraded audio signal.
Read my thread on " A Guide to Home Theater Audio CODECs". It helps you with cable connections for each audio CODEC.
