I guess there are people out there that would want to record 6 channels and watch catchup on a 7th, but really, how often would that happen in practice? Bandwidth on cable for broadcast is at a premium. I think +1s, while originally a nice concept, are now just a waste of space.

Given the option, an individual subscriber could theoretically choose channels that they want to ¨+1-ify¨ by using some of their free tuners to fill a temporary area of their box with 1 hour old content. Then you could even choose to make a particular channel a +2 if you wanted.
