how many channels??

[cellis]

Glorystar is putting many new channels on it's system.Just how many channels will they be able to put on? There are a lot of different Christian
channels that are very good. will there be a limit as to how many they will or can put on?

Theoretically they could fit hundreds of channels in the 2-satellite locations (look at dish and directv), but this depends on several things such as - number of available transponders not leased to other entities, compression ratio of channels transmitted, and most importantly the number of channels available. I think you'll reach the limits of what Christian broadcasting is available for broadcast (or more likely you'll reach the limits of what the broadcasters will pay in order to get other entities to release their transponders from lease) before you'll run out of capacity on two sats.
