We will see how it goes. They are also working on getting new HD receiver models. I really have no inside information but I doubt you will see any new models out before the fall of 2010. I have read that the new receivers whenever available will have the ability to utilize MPEG4, 8PSK and DVB-S2 allowing more channels per transponder. They will even be equipped with an HDMI port!
