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.
