UHD 259 and HDTH 281?

Sorry if this has already been talked about - I tried to search and didn't find anything...

I just noticed the other day that UHD is now also mapped to 259 and HD Theater to 281 - are these just re-maps of the existing MPEG2 channels (I'm guessing yes), or are we finally starting to see MPEG4 migration of the old channels?

Just remapped.

Yes, just remapped, but the next step in converting those channels to MPEG4. Once D11 gets up, I'm sure the three digit versions of those channels will become MPEG4 and the two digit versions will disappear.

Hey guys, If they were just remapped wouldn't we expect to see them on an MPEG2 receiver?

Never mind. I just checked again. They are showing up on MPEG2.
