The 1000s and what not? Or all the redundant music channels (like how there is a Smooth Jazz and a Smooth Jazz XM channel)?<br><br>Why not take some of those off the air to free up bandwidth for what is otherwise really popular programming? Thats, I think, the best way to go: take what is otherwise rarely watched channels and take them off air. <br><br>The redundant music channels can go away anyway, as if you have XM or Sirius already I highly doubt a satellite provider then needs their own music channels.<br><br>Afterwards, get rid of the redundant Pay-Per-View channels too. You don't need three channels all showing "The Bourne Ultimatum" all at 3 o'clock. I'm certain you could live with two to keep it fresh. <br><br>Then there will be bandwidth.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 5:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/03/directv-skips-white-sox-indians-game-due-to-bandwidth-constra/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/03/directv-skips-white-sox-indians-game-due-to-bandwidth-constra/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can understand technical problems do happen, but you don't just tell the customer "tough luck".  You give them some kinda money back or discount or something.  I mean hell, give the MLB extra innings subscribers $5 off their next bill.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cclaunch]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 5:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/03/directv-skips-white-sox-indians-game-due-to-bandwidth-constra/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/03/directv-skips-white-sox-indians-game-due-to-bandwidth-constra/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah... I was Pis**d off over it. That is the only reason I have MLB extra innings since I live in Reds Country.  Oh well.
