HD Locals for NY mpeg2 or mpeg4?????

[Drycreek]

Question NY HD networks are they in mpeg2 or mpeg4????
I spent money and time trying to receive hd locals in my area. I finally succedded in pulling in CBS HD thru antenna(82" boom,30'mast, preamp etc.).
I can get CDS HD from NY on my mpeg2 942. I want the rest of my HD networks.
Cable does not offer them.
Last resort is to change service address to NY, I currently have a seperate dish pointing at 61.5. So the Question is will a 942 mpeg2 receiver pick up the other NY HD networks?????? or are they mpeg 4, forcing me to once again upgrade my HD receiver to a 622.

No, a 942 will not pick up the NY HD locals, they are marked for VIP receivers only. You need a 622. Sorry.

Or a 211 or 411 (both are not dvr). The CBS-HD east coast feed is from NY, but people can get via waivers or if their local cbs is owned and operated.

Thanks for the responses(answers). Called for $199 622 lease but they would not give the $10 a month ($100 total) credit for the metal package upgrade. Looks like I'll call a few times to play customer service roulette.
Thanks again

I believe there is a form online at dishnetwork.com you have to print out and send it to get the rebate.
