I don't see how this is better logic.  It simlpy will always download 
data if a single channel has none existing.  That's not logic, it's a 
simplistic trigger.  For me, this will always download as I have a 
number of digital music channels that never have data.  Yes, I could 
make the effort to remove those channels, but I'm too lazy.  I'm 
guessing there are numerous users who are also too lazy or have channels 
with no data they don't want to remove.  Your removal of a threshold 
will put extra load on lots of users.  I'm not sure what the solution 
is.  I just don't think this is it.
