I am surprised it took this long for them to dump MPEG2. I understand the need for backwards compatibility, but even so, it's such an old CODEC and better things have been around for over a decade. When you say MP4, is that H.264 then?

I wonder how premium 3.1 is going to be. Is it going to be like when 100Mbit came along, a new tier with a new cost that (eventually) gets merged with the lower tier as the network upgrades, or will it be the new "Vivid 200" tier or what?
