Highly Ranked

You know all those channels that no one watches really high up in the lineup? The 1000s and what not? Or all the redundant music channels (like how there is a Smooth Jazz and a Smooth Jazz XM channel)?

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.

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.

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.

Then there will be bandwidth.
