What is the picture quality like? The concern is that piggyback feeds will not be allocated enough bit rate.

Very good question. I need to see how this played out for WVIA , which alone has 2-3 subs. WGTW in Philadelphia has 8 sub-channels and some are very grainy.

The big-time "network channels" with mostly HD content, such as WGAL locally, still has only one sub.
