1)Take into account that transitioning to H265 costs a lot of money that some servers don't want to spend. So your Mag will work on them.
2) Let's say an established server like IP Guys or Voodoo goes to H265. How many people will buy another box? How many people will dump Ip Guys and Voodoo and go with a server that still works on a Mag254? Do you think these servers want to spend money and lose customers on the short term.
3) We are in May 2018, How many servers will be H265 by the end of the year, or after a year. betcha not many. So again your Mag will be good for minimum a year.
By the time your Mag254 will be totally useless there will be even better boxes out there than there is today. :)
