Re: What about U-Verse

Why?
Since AT&T U-Verse has been doing it all along, Dish is hardly the "first" to offer this...
I think the distinction is ALL standard definition and high definition channels. Doesn't U-Verse transmit standard def channels using a different codec?

Looks like they just vary the bitrate.

I've had a DirecTV MPEG4 box for over a year now also, but they don't broadcast everything in MPEG4.

Dish has been offering an MPEG4-capable box for a couple of years now. The ViP622 was their first.

Also, anyone with an older MPEG2-only HD box with Dish hasn't gotten many, if any, new HD channels in a LONG time. I believe that all of the new ones they've added are MPEG4-only (though initially many were MPEG2 in an MPEG4 "container").

Uverse is all MPEG-4 for live TV.
