What receivers are Mpeg 4 compatable?

As I understand it the other Voom channels are gone for good.
1280x1920?
And with MPEG-4, 10 to 12 Mbps would be great! Overkill, even.
I wish they'd go back to the 10 channels they had before. I miss GuyTV and the Majestic. Even so I watch enough Monsters and Filmfest and Family that I'd miss Voom if it were gone. And my son is a soccer nut so he'd miss that.
Hope A&EHD is better than TNTHD or at least that it gets that way. I think the last thing I watched on A&E was Horatio Hornblower. That would be a good candidate for HD.
Aren't A&E and History and Biography all owned by the same parent company? If nothing else it's a positive sign that A&E is being added for when History/Biography go HD.
TNT HD is great when they are in HD. But when they are showing SD programs in stretch-o-vision I find it unwatchable. I really really wish they would put the program up in its true askect ratio and let the viewers decide if they want to streth the image themselves because there is not "unstretch" algorythm on my TVs! If A&E does the same stret-o-vision crap, they too would be unwatchable by me and a complete waste of bandwidth.
See ya

Abolutely! We'd love to get a price break for dropping ALL sports channels SD and HD. But while we're at it let's drop ALL those shopping chanels tooFor those people who could care less for more sports channels, maybe E* should put the RSNHD channels in a separate sports package and charge separately for it. Let all the sports enthusiasts who want the channels pay for it.
The Shopping Channels pay Dish to be carried. Let's not jack up our bills even more.

I understand that they pay Dish but they also take up valuable bandwidth on limited transponders in the process.The Shopping Channels pay Dish to be carried. Let's not jack up our bills even more.
Just curious for anyone that might know, how does a 1080i original show look when its converted to 720p by another channel like A&E HD? I've not really experienced this type of thing, closest I recall is seeing 720p downconverts from BEV, but thats BEV doing it, not the programming provider.
Hopefully, they will take the univerlsal 1080 24p master and just do a 720p 60dupe... and hopefully their master control is doing 720p and not alot to worry about... All the ABC Drams start off in 1080psf and go to 720 60. Since 1080i and 720 are divisible by 30 there should not be any major problems, They are probably requiring 720 down converts fom the 1080p source lets hope!
My mistake 1280x1080, and it's mpeg2 hidden with a mpeg4 skin! It's mpeg2 but only mpeg4 recievers can see it!

So I take it from reading all of this that my 811 is not going to be able to pick up A&EHD?
I just got this in my inbox...
Effective January 31, 2007 by 5pm ET, DISH Network will launch A&E HD into America’s Top 100+HD & higher (formerly DISH HD Bronze) on channel 9419.
