As I said, I'm not a techie, but I have been looking through various websites on this subject and this is not how I understood it. It appeared to me that H.264 enabled cablecos to provide these services using MPEG2 without having to change the STBs. Are you saying that this is not possible? If that is the case, it is very disappointing because there is no realistic chance of VM changing to MPEG4 in the near future due to the cost.
