Will 100 HD channels be in mpeg2?

Thanks for the info. Unless I get the MPEG4 DVR receiver and dish for free, it's see ya!! Directv. I guess their goal is to have a minial number of subscribers.

Well, I guess its see ya as you say.

However, I just arranged a D* upgrade at a Beverly Hills location.

They are replacing the HD-TIVO out a no charge with a HR-20 with no lease fee.

They are replacing the old RCA DCT-100 (1 active - one on standbye) for free with 2 new H-20s - no lease fee

Waived the $99 AT-9/AU-9 installation charge (actually charged me on Credit Card but immediately credited me on my D* account - go figure - I'm sure there is some tax advantage to them for this).

Gave me a $10 credit for HD each month for the next 12 months.

Thus they are replacing everything at no cost - gave me the 5 lnb and an extra $10 a month.

On top of this, they originally read off it was a 2 year committment, but stopped mid-sentence and said the computer screen was saying there was no comittment. I asked her to repeat that as I hit the memo button on the answering machine and recorded it.

So, guess you just don't know how to get the best deals.

Most likely not. The FCC doesn't mandate it. It's what an OTA antenna is for.

Well we know uplink to Dish means nothing. Remember RSN's and A&E last summer?
