They rearranged my cable channels, and ditched the nasa channel completely. It's gone! I enjoy listening to nasa, so after writing a nasty note to comcast, I downloaded realplayer and trplayer, and I now tap into the live feed from ksc. If others do this as well, it wiill comsume more comcast resources than if they'd offered the tv channel, but I guess that's their problem. Here is my question. It seems a shame to constantly download the video and throw it away, a waste of bandwidth, so I tapped into the audio stream instead. But when I type b, for bandwidth, the audio is 36kbps, while the video is 20kbps. Anyone know why the video+audio is smaller than the audio alone? Karl eklhad@comcast.net
