Tandberg announces new MPEG4 encoders

[SmityWhity]

4000 encoders deployed ...
How many transponders Dish have now ?
8sats x32tpns ~ 240 plus reserve, so around 300, hmm.
1/10 of one company volume.

But I don't think they have a license to operate 32 TP at each location. But still plenty.

anyone know if directv is going to use this?

 

[Smith P.]

You're right SW, I know it ( and a little more what in the air, then posted here ).
It was ballpark numbers.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Well, we don't care much if D* is using it, but I would expect them to have every bit as much interest as E*. Likewise Tandberg would love to sell to both.

I also do not think that Dish would increase PQ once they get this new technology. They will add more channels instead. PQ will NOT improve until most if not all channels are added that needs to be.

And the sad point vocalized one more time by Dish employee at CEDIA .
