In the most recent TV Technology magzine the manufacturers are asking
for an extension because they can't get the program guide info into
the PSIP scccurately when things change on the fly like a s****ting
event running longer than expected. Like anybody uses that useless
'feature'. When I look for the EPG, it takes a LONG time because it
has to tune in all 20 carriers ( Los Angeles) for several seconds
each. Instead I use Yahoo TV listings.
