I think you're right - I was (stupidly) trying to make sense of it. All I do know, e.g.: The "major" channel "RTL" uses various audio stream types in its programming on the SD channel, depending on the type of show and the material. The minor channels, such as "RTL2" only ever have one MP2 audio and one AC-3 audio stream, with two channels each. For whatever reason. (We might need to use other examples than these two channels, but I'm speaking or "relatives" in a family of channels.) BTW, the major (SD) channels also get much more overall bandwidth than the minor ones, resulting in very sharp video quality (or rather quite sucky video quality on the latter channels). I don't know exact numbers, but I believe there may be more than a 2x factor. Audio is probably still said drop in the ocean.
