Since you can get AVC/VC1 on a single decoder chipset, you shouldn't
have much to worry about on the decoder side. Most of your content or
distribution sat feeds will be MPEG2. But even so, that doesn't mean you
can't put them through an MPEG4 encoder (you will need to process the
stream for IP distribution anyway).
