Don't worry, be happy 
Dish was probably just cleaning up the TPs today, to make room for all the new HD stuff on Feb 1st.

Channels 5300-5354 now contain mirrors of all the non-Voom HD channels with MPEG4 tags with the exception on The Science Channel. They are all in a new, unknown package and available (hidden unless you subscribe to that package). My guess is... HD Only package warming up?

Some people have to sleep around here
http://www.satelliteguys.us/1212329-post2.htmlThat would be my guess on the HD package deal.
Wait.
So does this mean that they are sucking up what little capacity they have for new HD with mirrors of old HD?

They all point the the same tp on the sat. No extra capacity used.
Are some of the 110 Sat HD Nationals still MPEG2 (TNT,HDNet,?). Is this uplink indicative of them being eliminated "soon" and requiring anyone still using 811, 921, 942 to finally have to upgrade if want to watch HD ?

It does indicate that you will need an MPEG4 capable to get the new package, even though the channels have not changed format.
Just think what we could have if every Sub owned or leased a MPEG4 receiver. Is there any data out there that shows how many MPEG2 receivers are being used compared to MPEG4?
Thanks Digi, got all excited this morning when I saw a change so early. Hope there is another tomorrow. Would love to watch SG Atlantis in HD

All four sats (3 U.S., 1 China) will be up in the air and operating before Dish gets back all of the MPEG2 receivers.
The report does show all of them in MPEG4. I thought all current HD's on 110 were still MPEG2 (TNT, ESPN)?
They flagged the type as MPEG4 so only the MPEG4 receivers can see the package when you subscribe. Read back starting at TNGTony's post on 1/31.
My appologies, reading @ work w/ a lot of distractions (damn work) and didn't pick up on the "tags" bit....
Still too early, I suppose...

digiblur: are you periodically checking the throughput on the USAHD and SCIFI HD? Do you expect there to be anymore changes this week?
