I could be wrong, but I believe the newer PVRs support MPEG4. Also, we'll have to see what happens when IPTV arrives. They do, but the old ones (of which there are a lot of users) do not.
Breaking the 4200/4250 and 8300 would not go over well.
There are a couple of ways of handling this. IPTV can be MPEG4 exclusively, since the older boxes can't handle it anyway. Also, with switched video, you can get the stream your PVR can use or, with all the extra bandwidth freed up from analog, just have both versions on the cable. This sort of thing is already happening, where you can get both HD and SD on the same channel number.
