MPEG-4 Channel List

[jgkurz]

Hi All,
I'm hoping this isn't redundant but I would like to start an ongoing thread that includes the channels that are confirmed to be MPEG-4. I looked on the Directv Channel Lineup as of 11/14/07 and there is no way to tell which is MPEG-2 vs MPEG-4. I just thought it would be handy to have an official thread listing the converted channels so those of us with the HR10-250 know what we are missing.

Thank you.

I think basically anything in the 70s 80s and 90s are MPEG2 and the rest are MPEG4. Anything else you need to know?

All HD is MPEG4 except:

70/501*/509 HBO
71/537*/543 Showtime
72/209* ESPN2
73/206* ESPN
74 Universal
75/245* TNT
76 HD Theater
78 HDNet Movies
79 HDNet
94 Special Events
95 Special Events

* - SD only on MPEG2 HD receivers

Not quite true. The sports packages like NFLSP has HD channels for the TiVo in the 700's.:D

Maybe others as well.
