[BC] DTV Capacity - Digital Radio, too?

[Robert Meuser]

Rich:

Theoretically you can have a number of HD channels on a stream. It is 
all about the encoding. In reality it is how much you can crunch the 
signal and get away with it. I'll ask my long standing rhetorical 
question - what is the bandwidth of HD color in MPEG bars over time? 
Answer, nearly zero after they first hit air.
