Actually, I could probably accept that *IF* going to MPEG-4 meant that they'd be able to offer channels THAT I ACTUALLY WANT TO WATCH! Right now we're forced to pay out the rectum for tons of channels that we don't want just to get the ones that we do want; and because they've pretty much saturated their bandwidth it doesn't look like there will be a lot of HD improvement (or overall channel improvement) anytime soon.
Yes, I know that that particular issue comes down to "a la carte", but if going MPEG-4 actually means that they would offer more channels (perhaps international channels?) that I'd love to see, I could almost -- almost -- go for paying for the box up front.
