MPEG 4 Locals Question

702 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  tboan02
Ok so I have a HR20-700 Receiver and I installed the 5LNB dish today and everything is working fine but how do I know that I am receving my locals in MPEG4 and High Def do the channels come in on the normal local cahnnels 4, 5, 9, or do they show up as a 4-1 like they do when I have the antenna hooked up. Also do I need to call directv to have anything activated for the MPEG4 locals. Also I am in Kansas City and they are getting locals in MPEG 4 accoding to directv's website.

Thanks for the help.

If you look in your guide (assuming you haven't set up favorites) you would see two channel 4's, two 5's etc. The first would be the HD MPEG4, the second would be the MPEG2 SD and if you had an OTA antenna attached and you did the setup there would also be a 4-1, 5-1, etc. If you have the SD locals you're not supposed to have to do anything to get the HD locals also.
Thanks for the response Rad when I got home last night the channels for MPEG 4 had showed up I guess i took a little while for the receiver to know they were there.
