Yes, some channels will have to go. If they are reducing the resolution by 33%, it's fair to say that 1/3 of the channels would have to disappear for now. That doesn't rule out some channel sharing, so that some might air from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM and others from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM.foghorn2 said:Thank You! I asked this question twice now and most the HD-Lightweights have not responded:
If Dish and DirectTv were both to give you full rates and rezzes right now, will they have enough bandwith? Will they have to remove some channels?
Instead they call names and become insulting and invite fighting. So I ask those people again:
If Dish and DirectTv were both to give you full rates and rezzes right now, will they have enough bandwith? Will they have to remove some channels?
Of course the flip side of the argument is that since the downrezzed HD Lite channels aren't broadcast in HD now, the actual number of true HD channels would increase. But I don't think that's what you meant.
