There's probably a decent argument for having a small hierarchy.
Dividing by time zones or geography seems like a good first
stab:

alt.updates.mythtv.na.eastern
alt.updates.mythtv.na.central
alt.updates.mythtv.na.mountain
alt.updates.mythtv.na.pacific
alt.updates.mythtv.na.hawaii
alt.updates.mythtv.na.alaska
alt.updates.mythtv.na.satellite
	
Why different for Hawaii and Alaska? Because I don't think
their non-satellite television has a whole lot of overlap --
though I may be wrong.

And why the .na. in the middle? Because the overlap in
programming between Washington DC and La Paz is probably
small. And satellites visible across the US, northern Mexico and
southern Canada are probably not visible from Rio de Janeiro.
