Doug,
Very early on, it was discussed that the local PBS station in each market
(being neutral in the ratings wars, I suppose) would retransmit the EPG PSIP
for each station in their market, in order to make it easier and faster for
STBs to grab a complete guide. This idea never flew.
PBS stations currently carry TV Guide (Gemstar) data in their Analog
vertical interval. I'm not revealing state secrets when I say that there is
something in the works to provide a similar service via DTV in the future to
dedicated boxes.
The Samsung box I have, (you have one too, I believe) is rather fast at a
full guide, but it only receives 2 stations.
