Doesn't DirecTV use MPEG2?
DirectTV transmits a a "non-standard" Transport Stream that consists of 130 byte packets versus the 188 byte packets of MPEG-2 (the DSS multiplex format is specified in ITU-R BO.1294 System B).

The video portion of the bitstream is standard MPEG-2 video and the audio portion is either standard MPEG-1 stereo or AC-3.
