DirecTV continues to expand their MPEG-4 encoded broadcasts

Posted by Sachin Garg on 29th December 2005 | Permanent Link

HDBEAT: It seems DirecTV is getting the MPEG-4 AVC party started a little early. We knew New York and LA were going to get local channels in high definition, but we thought it would take until January, we were wrong. Starting today, both cities can enjoy their local programming via satellite as long as you have the right equipment.

Subscribers who already get their local channels in HD via MPEG-2 equipment don’t worry, nothing has changed (yet) for you.
