can anyone say more WAISTED BANDWIDTH!

can anyone say more WAISTED BANDWIDTH!

Actually I think more waisted bandwidth is when a hot girl gets too skinny. Now Direc is wasting bandwidth!:devil:

 

[charper1]

Much like the must carry deals for human interest, religion and shopping (they must have a set percentage of these based on total selections) I really think this was a partnership deal struck long ago (like early 05) and was already in the "bullpen" for when the actual producers go it all together. Then the announcement late December '05 comes. This doesn't make it any less of a waste but it not like they just popped it out of nowhere; it was already slated and bandwidth allocated and they get paid to have it on.

If it was HD I think it would be great. Especially compared to CD-USA. Now thats a waste of bandwidth of both SD & HD.
