If any HD channel were changed to 180i (that's less than half the resolution of SD), I wouldn't go to a board; I'd call my state's attorney general. Perhaps you meant 1080i?Someone on the AVSforum was loudly complaining about the fact that UNIHD was changed to 1440X180I. So it's been noticed.
According to ekb.dbstalk.com, A&E HD (27) and Universal HD (19) are all by themselves in a transponder on 129. Why is that? Since they're using MPEG4 now, why can't they put them together or move them? Seems like a waste of bandwith to me.

New list will be send to Tony today !.
Thanks. Because the list is not up to date. Send a list to Lyngsat.com too because they're not up to date either.
digiblur,
Did you missing "For ViP Only" changed to "H.264" on couple HD channels ?
Our banned member pointed to that:
"UNIHD , 9427, A4, 122,22, 61.5W
That appears to say MPEG4 - which is a change from A6
so why has no one else said anything?"
LOL... I sent an entire CSV list of 101/110/119 of DirecTV to Lyngsat...has it been updated. Nope...
"UHD and A&EHD are now in true Mpeg4 from Dishnetwork!" Great more compressed channels!!!
They have been for months, and the MEG4 channels look a lot better then they did when they were MPEG2. (And they are using less bandwidth)"UHD and A&EHD are now in true Mpeg4 from Dishnetwork!" Great more compressed channels!!!
Well, technically, you're right. They are more compressed. But, the compression is better, so less info is lost."UHD and A&EHD are now in true Mpeg4 from Dishnetwork!" Great more compressed channels!!!
MPEG-4 is a standard used primarily to compress audio and visual (AV) digital data. Introduced in late 1998, it is the designation for a group of audio and video coding standards and related technology agreed upon by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) under the formal standard ISO/IEC 14496. The uses for the MPEG-4 standard are web (streaming media) and CD distribution, conversation (videophone), and broadcast television, all of which benefit from compressing the AV stream.
MPEG-4 absorbs many of the features of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 and other related standards, adding new features such as (extended) VRML support for 3D rendering, object-oriented composite files (including audio, video and VRML objects), support for externally-specified Digital Rights Management and various types of interactivity. AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) was standardized as an adjunct to MPEG-2 (as Part 7) before MPEG-4 was issued.
MPEG-4 is still a developing standard and is divided into a number of developing parts. Unfortunately the companies promoting MPEG-4 compatibility do not clearly state which "part" level compatabilty. The key parts to be aware of are MPEG-4 part 2 (MPEG-4 SP/ASP) and MPEG-4 part 10 (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264).
Most of the features included in MPEG-4 are left to individual developers to decide whether to implement them. This means that there are probably no complete implementations of the entire MPEG-4 set of standards. To deal with this, the standard includes the concept of "profiles" and "levels", allowing a specific set of capabilities to be defined in a manner appropriate for a subset of applications.
Your welcome.
