I just switched to Comcast and cable card yesterday so I was curious about
this.  I have a ton of h264 stations in central IL.  Spot checking,
Velocity, CNN, A&E, History, AMC, BBCA, etc

Ones I noticed were mpeg2 still were ESPN and CNBC.

The file sizes are crazy small.  About 1/3 of what the same show was via my
HD-PVR.
