Yes and no. It depends on the encoding from the program source. There are many channels that only encode at 2.0. Try HDNET or HDNET Movies - I believe they are always 5.1. Also, some channels will send 5.1 encoding but only have 2.0 or 1.0 actual audio.
A lot of the local HD channels will only be 5.1 during prime time network.

I noticed that usually the live Mets and Yankees games are in 5.1
