"Obviously, DISH's 1080p isn't the same quality 1080p as what you'll find on a BD-50 (something to do with sophisticated compression, we hear)"
Are you being ironic? Dish is probably using MPEG4, like most BD titles do, but the BD is almost certainly at a higher bitrate. That explains the Picture Quality difference much better than "sophisticated compression" does.
I am shocked, however, that the quality is apparently very good. What about lossless audio, though?
I think Dish Network uses something called 8PSK compression.
8PSK is not a form of compression, it's a modulation scheme that they use on their satellite transmissions. MPEG4 is the compression format.
