Anyone notice that they never said the new channels would actually be in MPEG4 - only that you'd need their new MPEG4 receiver to receive them.
What if they're really still MPEG2 but somehow restricting them to only the new MPEG4 receivers to force this upgrade ?
This would fit with what their own tech dept has been saying right along - that MPEG4 IS NOT ready yet.
It would also fit with their desire to get everyone off the "own" plan and onto the "lease" plan.
Since they said that some of the new channels are already available to those with a new receiver, is there any way those signals can be tested to determine if they're really MPEG2 "disguised as MPEG4 ?
