If we were still limited by analogue bandwidth to only 4 or 5 channels, I 
fail to see how 99% of the rubbish channels that there are now would even 
exist.  The fact that digital allowed a couple orders of magnitude more 
channels to be available IMO caused the average quality of progamming 
available to drop massively.

Do what I do, simply program in the best channels, ignore the other 99% of 
channels, and suddenly you can be back to almost a reasonable average 
quality level.
