well I took a leap and did it anyways (ended up being 88kb) and everything seems to be working fine... go figure I just thought 128kb or 88kb was extremely low considering it was around 10mb before I started putzing with the 1600. So for those that see this I have 3 tuners and 68 analog channels for 14 days and it's starting at around 88kb.
