[BC] sats merger

[Bernie Courtney]

well assuming double the transponder capacity, and the likely elimination of
duplicated programming which is about 1/2 of both services, you have about
double the bandwidth to do as you please with (once one of the two sat
broadcasting technology's is turned off).  I think this is a long way off
though, there are just too many receivers out there.
