After one of my two, HR10-250 crashed for good, I called DirecTV and decided to change out both DVRs to the new HR20-100 DVR and a 5 LNB dish for a total cost to me of $199. Not a bad deal in my estimation for two new DVRs and I figured I beat the rush when those new sats. are launched next...
Ron, From my understanding, you will continue to receive your local NYC HD channels at MPEG 2. Any new HD channels added after these two new sats. go up in orbit will be in MPEG4.
