I'd put my $ on Charlie miscommunicating what will happen. It doesn't make sense to offer the new Voom channels MPEG4 only if nearly all of us can't view them, and won't for some time. We'll see in a few weeks I suppose

Yes, but at last months Tech Chat they said Dish Network's MPEG-4 rollout will be a slow and measure response. We're getting conflicting word from Charlie and the Techies.GeorgeLV said:Or maybe that's the business plan. I wonder if they'll make it free like DirecTV does.

GeorgeLV said:I guess it didn't make any sense to offer the new HD channels when everybody had SD receiver and nearly no one could view them either?
sclaws said:And Charlie is always 100% accurate with his Chat statements?
FreddyvsJasonvsAsh said:well to bad for the people with 811s because you won't be able to see the MPEG4 VOOM channels and if you want a 411/211 you have to pay for it

GeorgeLV said:Ha. Nope. But if I'm Charlie and I have a MPEG-4 receiver to sell, I'm going to put some MPEG-4 content out there so people will buy it.
