I've noticed similar problems with my local CW affiliate (KNIN-HD 9.1) in
Boise, ID.  All programming on this channel, including SD and commercials,
are broadcast in Dolby 5.1.  There is obviously re-encoding going on, and
they aren't doing a very good job of it.  My biggest complaint is that they
send frequencies that are way too high over the ".1" subwoofer channel.  My
Receiver obviously doesn't do any filtering on the digital subwoofer
channel, so I actually have to tweak the lowpass filter on my subwoofers
(yes, I have two) in order to watch programming on this channel.  It's quite
annoying.
