Hi, I'm sure someone has asked this and I tried to search the posts but.......Is there any reason to purchase the new reciever that is MPEG4 capable? Will I notice any quality improvment on my HD that I now get? Thanks, Bill

The MPEG4 HD receiver will allow you to receive local HD stations from D* when available! Also, D* will be making all future HD programming in this format so you will need this receiver eventually!

plus its nice to future proof yourself if you can when you have the money to do so :

Along with the reasons above, D* is currently offering a $200 rebate for new and existing customers if you buy an H20 receiver before 02/28/2006. Since the H20 usually sells for $199, the net cost will be the taxes and shipping charges (if applicable).
