alright, not for sure. What's the MPEG-2/MPEG-4 mean. From what I've heard, MPEG-4 is basically more compressed than MPEG-2, allowing more content sent from one satellite. Am I right there, or way off.
MPEG4 is a newer compression method and an improvement of MPEG2 spec. It's downward compatable meaning MPEG4 also decodes MPEG2 and MPEG1. It should produce the same quality as MPEG2 with half the file size. I may also produce better results (less pixelation) during high motion scenes.joshschuler said:alright, not for sure.

Sorry, had two windows open, replied to wrong message.joemama said:It also requires a lot more memory to do the decode.
Just the HDTV, x11 and x22 models. The 510, 301 and older models do not. The only channels sent using 8PSK are the HDTV ones.jpetersohn said:AFAIK all current DISH receivers use 8PSK.
