I just got off the phone with a Dish CSR who informed me that in order to get all of the available HD channels, not only do I need an MPEG4 receiver, but I also need a Dish 1000. I was under the impression that a Dish 500 and a dish at 61.5 would do the trick, but the CSR was saying that instead of 61.5 I will need to pick up the 129 satellite. So, is all the HD programming that I am currently getting from 61.5 on 129 as well? And the new HD channels and future HD channels will be on 129 but not 61.5? Also, are all the HD channels on 129 in MPEG2 or MPEG4? I will still have an 811 and 942, so I would like to continue being able to get the HD channels that are on the 61.5 satellite in MPEG2 when I have a Dish 1000 and am getting the channels from 129 instead.
Thanks.
