Hi,

It will not. Read the following: Because DTV went on the air before the MPEG-2/DVB standard was ratified, they don't use standard MPEG-2. Much like GI, they use MPEG-2 video encoding, but use strange audio encoding and system information packets. Additionally, the DSS service uses variable FEC values depending on how they have the the transponders on the satellite configured. The DSS data stream is transmitted the same way as all other MPEG-2 satellite services, however, due to its differences, is incompatible with MPEG-2/DVB receivers.

got it from this page http://www.coolstf.com/mpeg

is got some cool info, check it out and enjoy :wink:

Nuff said.
