Scripps HD Nets switching transmission to MPEG-4?

There was a banner up today on Multichannel News that warned Scripps HD nets was changing their transmission format and it instructed Scripps viewers to call a phone # to make sure they dont lose their signal.

I called the # and the guy on the other end claimed that Scripps was changing over to MPEG-4 transmission of their HD channels sometime next month. Anyone have any info on this? Today is the first I had heard of it.. Old news?

Mods please switch this over to the appropriate forum if you feel this doesent belong here, or delete it if its old news :)

D* put out a news release yesterday saying that all their HD channels would be MPEG-4.

Out of the release....

DIRECTV will also transmit all of its HD programming in the MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding standard, by the end of this month - the first to do so in the industry. All HD programming will also be available in the Dolby Digital audio format, and later this year, DIRECTV will begin offering movies in 1080p, the highest resolution format available for HD video enthusiasts and the same format used by Blu-Ray HD DVDs.

Im talking about the feed that Scripps sends to Directv for distribution. Not the feed that Directv is sending out to us, the end users. These are two totally different subjects.
