    Dish to start upgrading HD customers to MPEG4

    Are the 622s part of the upgrade? I'm only kidding. I can't believe how many people don't read the original post or know whether or not they have an HD receiver. Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't everybody know what their receiver is, what it is capable of and whether it is SD, HD, MP2...

    VIDEO - Dish ViP222

    The clueless Dish guy in the video even said in his intro that it was a standard 222 with upgraded firmware. All it appears to be is a standard 222 with the ethernet port enabled and has UPNP capability. The client box appears to be something running sageTV. At least that's what the logo...

    HD Locals Methodology

    Well, if I were to hedge a guess, they are probably doing fiber to Liberty Lake. LLIX (Liberty Lake Internet Exchange) has a ton of fiber leading in from everywhere and has many of the national Internet/data players such as Level3, 360 and Verio. They are probably doing national bandwidth...

    * Note - Do Not Call For Mpeg4 UNTIL FEB 1ST*

    OK, guys this is my first post, but I'm not new to reading here. I'm one of the customers who activated service with a 942 about 17 days ago. However, I called D* before signing up and asked if the 942 was MPEG-4 capable. After talking with several people and being on hold, I was told...
