Coolsat claims their 8000 is "MPEG-2 & MPEG-4 Fully DVB Compliant." This information is in the 8000's User's Manual.
Maybe the NORW Group can write a program to make the 8000 compatable with the new format, and, maybe that "S/W fix" be downloaded thru the RS232 port. Or, it may turn out that hardware is needed to do this job, we'll have to wait and see.

Also, I think it will take some time for B3V to replace the MPEG-3 receivers they have out, which is a lot of them. So, the MPEG-3 data stream should continue for some months yet.
