The way I see it is that the new voom channels will be mpeg2 or we would not have had to go through the down-rez or less channels exercise.

RandallA said:Thanks. It's easier for me to read it that way. So is GAMEPLAY gone?
I didn't include it in the list because JohnH said it was gone. That will actually be channel #15 (KNGFU is duplicated) if it's still there.
GeorgeLV said:I don't know why people think Echostar 10 will increase the number of national HD channels Dish can offer on their main sats. Having more transponders available is pretty meaningless since they're already broadcasting the maximum they're licensed for. In fact if the map here (http://ekb.dbstalk.com/297) is accurate they'll actually be cutting back on conus transponders to incease the number of spot beam markets receivable with a Dish 500.
(If I'm reading it correctly only 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are being used for spot beams on 110 now, but E10 will also use 12, 18, 20, 23, 25, 26, 27, 29, and 31.)
JohnH said:BTW: The new HD in Mpeg4 is beginning to look more like a fact than a rumor.
