You only need a new receiver if you want the LiLs which are only in very few
markets at present. As they bring Spaceway 2 online, the number of markets
will expand.
DirecTV is not scheduled to launch another MPEG4 capable satellite until
2007. Current thinking is the S1 and S2 birds are primarily for locals. The
next gen stuff will handle national feeds.
Bottom line: it's not likely your MPEG2 receiver/DVR will go dark anytime
soon.
