| No, although of course that should be possible. But the right way to
| do it is to implement the protocol correctly, and to write clever
| software (instead of obtuse software) in receivers. It should not be
| all that difficult for receivers to store the EPG info ahead of time,
| while idle for example, and make it available instantly to the user.
| And to update the info in real time while tuned to a given station.
| The problem is not with the standard, as much as it is with receiver
| implementations, IMO.

They will need to hire some clever firmware programmers, instead of using
the obtuse ones they have now.

| Same goes with the system clock. It just isn't that difficult to do
| this right. And there should be no reason to make an entire market
| dependent on just the PBS station, or any other station, for these
| functions.

Especially when the PBS station is the one that can't be received.
