Hey there - sorry for not phrasing this awkwardly, but i'm not 100% on the terminology and trying REALLY hard not to break the forum rules here with this question.
I've seen references here and there that Sky are due to change their broadcast technology from MPG to MP4 in the next few months (all channels? some channels? their own channels? THE SD ones only? i dunno?)
How will this impact older boxes? - i have an older Ferguson 252 box that handles Sky just fine, as well as the Saorview (Irish version of Freeview) HD MP4 on the terrestrial aerial just fine.
I'm also about to buy the Xtrend ET8000 for the dual S/S2 and PVR features.
Am i worrying about nothing, and will my purchase not be wasted?
Basically looking for reassurances that this possible sky update won't turn a lot of satellite boxes into useless paperweights.
