Thank you I wondered what it meant . I wonder why they didn't just name it MPEG 8 as the next phase and stay with the mpeg 2 , 4 genre?

Perhaps it wasn't the MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) people who came up with the new compression algorithm?
Edit: Well, not entirely.
Imagining ... (a new 3 package) Welcome pack, to add; TNT, FX, AMC. (less HL pack) and Smart pack (all channel from wp) + USA, SYFY, Discovery, A&E, FXX, NATGEO (less HL pack). and the CLASSIC pack (all channel from Smart pack + ESPN, and theses channel from 90's to back). BUT still the traditional AT, that including you regional sport and contemporary channels.
Even if that is true, I had been using MPEG 4 SD from Eastern Arc, so there would definitely be a difference if I switched to recording MPEG 4 HD instead.
So, are the remaining HD feeds being added to Welcome Pack on the 9th?
One could hope. I have a relative getting all the HD feeds with AT200, and she did not have HD200 or HD200 Free (or whatever it is called now).
I hope Dish starts adding other HD feeds of Welcome Pack channels like MTV2, Oxygen, etc.
I would also like to see both of those be added. However, like I said in the OP, I am not the "bluegras" of Welcome Pack. At this point, I only expect to see the HD feeds of channels that are already HD in other Dish packages.
When I compare the channels in these packs, I do not see Sysfy A&E,or USA.

Were you responding to the following post?
I think that was just wishful thinking as far as what channels he would like to see get added to these packages.
National Geographic (channel 186) is not listed as a free preview, and we are only getting the standard-def feed. Has National Geographic been added to Welcome Pack, and if so, how soon will we be getting the HD feed?
I hate to jinx it, but with all of the recent Tier Changes, I think FXX HD has been added to Welcome Pack. 
Or not, it's in free preview right now...I hate to jinx it, but with all of the recent Tier Changes, I think FXX HD has been added to Welcome Pack.
I know, but I can hope! Dish kept turning the free preview off and on yesterday, and we kept getting FXX, so I am hoping the Tier Changes were because Dish was adding FXX to the lower packages.
I've got this also, National Geographic, but just in SD. So it's probably just a mistake.
