I saw at another forum they have finally started talking about the new dishes but have been showing Diagrams of the dishes (and have been calling them picture) one of member posted links to our photos of the real dishes and one of the staff there jumped on him saying that registration was required to view our photos.

I am happy to report that all users cab now download attachments with no registration required.

Enjoy!!!

I probably missed a follow up on your excellent report, re Dish wanting to have all Mpeg2 receivers upgraded to Mpeg4 sets by the end of the year. I think you reported "like for like" trade ins. Any clarification of this? Thanks.

Everyone does not have to be upgraded to MPEG-4 receivers by the end of the year. That is just not going to happen

Perhaps they meant "every HD customer"?

Cheers,

Most likely since I read that Dish wants all hd programming in mpeg4 by next summer. I only hope that they learn how to do mpeg 4 so it looks as good as the mpeg 2 version or we will all be screwed. Just look at the STarz hd channel and you will see what I mean. It truely is a waste of a good channel.

I can see Dish Network shutting off MPEG-2 HD programming sometime next year getting everyone that has not already swapped out their receiver the new MPEG-4 one so that they can continue to receive the existing HD programming that they get today and the additional programming in MPEG-4. That would be the first step in the switchover. Next they may go with those customers that have the movie packages. This could be the same as they did with the yellow card swapout. Switch out the fewest affected first which allows the prices on MPEG-4 hardware to drop even more as they do the swapouts.

I'm really wanting one of those new dishes and access to my Indy HD locals that are out there tempting me. I haven't really been watching any major networks since losing my distant HD New York feeds when dropping D*. At least we're in summer reruns.
