Does anyone here NOT listen to the DD-HD and DTS-HD audio tracks?

You mean Lossless and lossy audio. "5.1 channels" has nothing to do with the actual core codec. With this type of mental paradigm, you should have stayed with DVD, especially when you are telling someone who is planning on purchasing something inferior. When you buy new, you buy the latest technology. That technology is 1080p, and lossless. It's all about building the actual theater experience, and compressed crap does not do it too well. OP- I would urge you to get a lossless receiver, and worry finding something additional to use with it with the extra bells and whistles later.

DTS - 1.5 Mbp/s
DD (most) - 480Kbp/s (DVD) or 640 Kbp/s (Blu-ray)

To the OP:

Lossless - 3Mb-9Mbp/s

DTS is great...but not for anything too dynamic. Definitely a step up from DD.
