Sound Quality of Direct TV audio


I recently put a 1/3 octave spectrum analyzer on my Direct TV audio outputs and was shocked to find that they are brick wall filtering all low frequencies below about 150 Hz. Not a gentle roll off mind you, everything from 150 Hz down is gone.

I thought they were supposed to be delivery "high quality" audio. Anyone else discover this or am I getting something unusual?

Our DirecTV HD DVR HR44-200 connects to an Oppo 105D via HDMI that in turn connects to a Bryston SP3 via HDMI. Program material often lights up subs crossed at 40 Hz mains and 80 Hz center and surrounds.
