Almost no MPEG2. Everything will be / is now HD.

Some FTA real channels now and some Pay TV already. Mostly German.

If you only get audio and no video it may be:
1) You arn't using an HD DVBs receiver (MPEG2)
2) You arn't using an HD DVBs-2 receiver (MPEG4)

Quite a few HD channels the audio works on my ordinary Digital Satellite Reciever.

If it is MPEG2 I get a message "HD Service".
IF it is MPEG4 I simply get a blank screen.

You can't view any kind of HD video on a non-HD receiver, even in SD downsampled mode.

A couple of channels with HD in the name DO give video. These are just non-HD advertising for the new channels (i.e. Greek TV). These are pointless, just ordinary Satellite channels (SD).
