Nope. According to The List. They are still MPEG2.
Could you post the link to the channel list showing if they are MPEG2 or 4? Thanks
Also I have a question I have always wondered but never asked- Why do the HD channels have 2 channel numbers like 9000 and 300?
The lower channel number is a mapdown channel that is near (or the same as) the Standard Definition channel. It is to make it easier to find the channel. The upper channel number is the actual channel in the system.Could you post the link to the channel list showing if they are MPEG2 or 4? Thanks

Wonder if this has been delayed or will we see this change sometime yet today?
According to Lyngsat.com, ESPN HD is already in MPEG 4 on transponder 7 in 110.
DISH Network on EchoStar 8/10 at 110.0°W - LyngSat
Can anyone confirm this?
A guess might be that they will wait until EchoStar 11 arrives, and then setup the MPEG4-HD feeds on EchoStar 11, and then when the channel map switches, the channel will automatically switch to the MPEG4-HD feeds on the new satellite...
Click on "The List" on the menu bar at the top of the page.
How does this work? I see two entries for ESPN one as MPEG2 and another as MPEG4 with different transponder numbers
Is there a way to force my receiver to select the MPEG4?
It uses more space to record something in HD,rather than in SD.MPEG4 is so much better. When I record HD programs it uses so little space. I have 30 hours and I record something that is 90 minutes and it only uses about 60 minutes of space. I thought after August 1st they were turning off all MPEG2 for all channels.
By the way besides recording it and seeing how much space it uses, how can you tell if a channel is MPEG2 or MPEG4.
