Some of the programming that NASA will be sending on this channel is  
restricted by copyright and program contract issues. Making the feed  
addressable ensures that only authorized viewers are receiving the  
program. Sure, the argument that "my taxes pay for NASA" will be  
bellowed by some, but PBS does the same thing and has done so for  
years. Program producers sell their product to programmers for a  
specific audience. Making it where everyone can watch it makes the  
ability to resell the program to additional markets less profitable.
