Dish Network can't be broadcasting entirely H.264! My parents still have a receiver from at least 6 years ago that works perfectly. It's definitely MPEG-2 only!

I know they plan to broadcast H.264 in the future, or maybe they're only doing it for HD feeds? I wonder how these companies address legacy receivers.
