Since it's summertime, I am giving Comcast until early October to get these in my area. Otherwise, I believe the MDU install in my place of Dish allows for the MPEG4 channels, so I'll definitively be one of those "I'm coming back to Dish"
Still no Indianapolis HD locals. No chance of me moving until that is done.
The extra channels are great news for E*, but much of the HD content I watch is from locals.
No OTA HD available?
If not there's always "moving", to pick up the one or two networks you are missing OTA.
Has there been any movement this afternoon as far as uplinks go?
I am expecting the VOOM to be cut over to MPEG4 soon.

Glad you clarified which movement you were referring to...as it is after lunch here
I was wondering the same about VOOM and the switch to MPEG4

All is quiet... Anyone have their 811, 942, etc tuned in waiting for the channel to go dark?
I'm at the edge of OTA, and I don't want to spend $400 on it nor deal with crappy neighbors about it.
Moving does not help as my local news is also in HD (WTHR). That really stinks that E* won't carry it for that reason alone? Indy is in the top 25 markets, and I don't know how many have their own local HD content like that.
However, this is getting off-toptic to the main post, so I'll stop!
I still have Voom on my 942. I don't see any indication of Voom channels on 129 in mpeg 4. Are they doing a hot switch, mpeg2 one second and mpeg4 the next?
I tend to agree, and have an online essay about why, which can be found at:

PS I've found Bjork and Nine Inch Nails to be exceptions, but neither is to the taste of the average person...

I'm recording the first ever Mythbusters (Episode 1 - Jet Assisted Chevy) right now. It's definitely in 16x9. It is hard to say whether this episode was originally in 1080i or not - it could be "zoomed". (I see that a lot on National Geographic HD, where they have a show with a talking head filmed in HD and then some 1980 camcorder footage that is zoomed to be 16x9.)
In any event, one would expect that tonight's brand new Mythbusters episode should be in HD.
