said by sbernstein5:said by WhatsHot:There are plans. They don't involve conversion of existing channels.
That's as much as I'll elaborate.
Read between the lines "don't involve conversion of existing channels" can easily be read as "new channels will be added as MPEG4"
If thats the plan then FiOS is being counter productive.
All of the HBO and Cinemax channels, with a few exceptions, are MPEG4 being converted by FiOS to MPEG2. Those channels should be MPEG4.
