Thanks for the heads up...I will remember to turn updates off that day.

Does all the equipment(lnbs, switches, and receivers) have to be swapped out for MPEG4 or just the receivers?
It should just be the receivers. MPEG4 by itself won't affect the LNBs or switches.
But if they start changing the orbital slots around for existing programming, then expect the other kinds of swaps. I doubt they'll do much if any of that though. And note, this has nothing to do with their requests or rumored intentions of moving the satellites around a little...

Tux while nothing has been announced yet, I have a feeling we could see a mjor channel shuffle in the fall.
Sounds like it might be a good idea for HD subscribers to hold off on adding a second dish for Voom on 61.5 with all the shuffling going on? Is Dish even going to let its HD subscribers know there is new content available?

Entire key here is wait for mpeg4
Yup. Even though they didn't address it, from the tone of the chat, I doubt they'll take the trouble to mirror at 148. Oh well, back to waiting until Fall for more HD again.

It's a little farther along than that. But they still have a bunch of work to do.

So what you are saying is-they are going to charge for a lesser service then say what I get from Comcast and their On Demand service for free and tons more options ( like saving the movie, lots more programing, etc ).
Is E*'s mindset about 3 years ago, do they not understand that cable is really kicking their a*s in a lot of areas in the U.S. (yes I know cable is not the same everywhere).
Well, I can start a movie anytime I want. Pause it, rewind it, fast forward,stop it and play it again at a later time where I left off. This is with Charter and the Moxi DVR anyways. I love it, and its free.jbcheshire said:
