When I saw the news I was excited but then I noticed some are Spanish and audio only but they are going to have America One, AMG TV and TUFF TV in the lineup. :cool:

WYBN-TV Albany enters construction phase - Radio & Television Business Report (http://www.rbr.com/tv-cable/wybn-tv-albany-enters-construction-phase.html)

First time I have seen one with ten total channels. :eek:

I was stunned by that news until I read that many of them are audio only.

Why on earth would you get excited by that many subchannels? Having 4 is bad enough. I'd hate to see the picture quality if you had 9 video subchannels. It would probably make low quality look like HD.

There is a religious channel to the south that has 5 channels that look good but they are all 480i. It looks like this channel is doing the same but shifting a small portion of the bandwidth to 5 audio channels. On an old TV it will look fine but an HDTV will show blockiness.

If they were all TV channels it would look like some of the low quality satellite FTA channels with similar bit rates. They are watchable but ugly on a big TV.

Couple things
TBN (religious) does 5 480i channels on their digital channels (TBN, Smile of a Child, Church, JCTV & Enlance)
We have a EWTN station that does 5 channels...a EPG, 3 of EWTN and one that has other programming

It can be done....there is one in San Fran that has 12 video and 9 audio on one channel :eek:
KAXT-CA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAXT-CA)

folks that can get it say the pic isnt that bad.

But dang.. America One, Tuff TV & AMG on one channel? sweet :)
(although TuffTV looks like hell on the "master" feed to begin with...this may not be much better)

It can be done....there is one in San Fran that has 12 video and 9 audio on one channel :eek: ...
Sure it can, Ice. But at some point, what viewers receive crosses the line separating "video" and what's more properly called a "slide show"...

:sick:
