What happens when...

usually the point to save bandwidth is to free it up for other applications.

So what happens when one day people are watching all 170 channels. They'd lose the 50% that they freeded up. Something has to give.

BTW, if they freeded up 50% of the bandwidth, wouldn't that equate to about 50% of the channels which means that about 100% people don't watch 50% of the channels?

I had wondered about this myself.

I admit the chances are slim of it ever happening, but I'm guessing they'll just tell you "Tough luck!". If they merely reuse this bandwidth for HSI, then they could steal it back and degrade the HSI connections. If they used it to carry more channels, I'm guessing it's just a majority rule situation. If you're the only person trying to watch ESPN Sumo Channel #3 at that time, you'd just have to lump it.
