MPEG 4 channel list?

[seattlemike]

How do you find which HD channels are in MPEG 4, is their a list available? I want to add channels to my favorite list but notice their are some duplicate channels with different channel numbers on my 622 HD channel menue.

I don't know if there's a listing of mpeg4 but TNT-HD (9420), DiscTH-HD (9421), HDnet (9422), HDnet movies (9423), ESPN (9424), PPV-HD (9467), HBO-HD (9456) and SHO-HD (9460) are mpeg2. So all the others (in 95xx -9419) are mpeg4.

Michael, the channel chart in the EKB does show the MPEG encoding for HDTV channels in parentheses after the channel name:

Usually, when you see the same HD channel listed at 2 different channel numbers, it's due to HD map-down. For example, History HD at 9491 will also show up at 120 HD with map-down enabled. It's the same channel just using a different number to access it. Folks who have the number memorized may like this, because typing 120 will take them to History HD just as it used to take them to History (SD). The map-down settings can be modified at Menu->6->9->"Chan Display".
