Huh? I think they have the bandwidth. 4 additional state of the art satellites in 2 years, each with 32 transponders, each transponder capable of 4-6 HD channels. Three are up now, and the last one launches before the end of the year. Let's see: 128 transponders with let's say an average of channels. That's 640 HD channels ADDITIONAL capacity. I think that's sufficient.
