Smart TV, Tablets, Smart Phones will lead the masses away from "STB'S"

The conversion process from DVB-S to DVB-S2 is being accelerated, due to the rapid increase of HDTV and introduction of 3D-HDTV. The main factor slowing down this process is the need to replace or upgrade set-top boxes, which makes the transition slower for established operators.

DirecTV in the US is now switching over to DVB-S2 with H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec for their local and some national HDTV channels.

H.264 coupled with G.729.1 are the Here and Now Standards.
