Bill,
I believe that this New box will do true MPEG-4 over DVB as opposed to ATSC terrestrial. See I chuckled when all these people ran out and plunked down their $400+ for the Coolsat 8000 thinking that it would do
HD over DVB for the satellites that offered it for FTA. But upon reading the description, it says that it does HD and MPEG-4 for ATSC ONLY. It also will not do QAM-64 (like connecting to your digital cable system). Too bad. But the new Fortec box will at least do 4:2:2 (useful for the NBC mux on AMC 1) and the decoding of
AC3 audio internally (good for people who want to watch
PBS on AMC 3). Maybe the few HD feeds out there and 8PSK ( which I have seen some listings for). Now thats a box I would spend 400 dollars plus for with the exception of the Qualitv box that does 4:2:2.
