I thought that was something they couldn't do.

On the XM side they have another issue ... channel numbers. I think they are almost out.

Mel's latest video says that we are going to have 130 channels. So... Sounds like the channel numbers running out is not an issue and sound quality should improve.

I can't watch the video at work ... but XM has 170 channels. Granted 15 of them are for baseball. But this means they would do an end-around the FCC and their restrictions on channel reductions.

I didn't watch it either. I'm just going by the comments.

I wonder if that 130 includes the 12 new channels mandated for minority progrmming too.

There's a shortage of numbers now? Wow, these are tough times
