Terry,

I believe Craig was talking about exactly this option, with the distribution
companies, repackagers, multichannel operators taking this data from the the
stream to feed their EPG's. DVB-S pvr's that are not related to a specific
operator do exactly this at the end of the line, the viewer's home.

Does your epg account for programmes running a minute or two late? I.e. how
accurate is the scheduling system and its output to the SI generator?

Craig,

There is an alternative to the media companies feeding your station's EPG.
At our over-the-air station, I implemented a system which links and creates
the guide information from our traffic/scheduling database. It is parsed by
our PSIP generator and mux'ed with our outgoing stream. Because of the
link, it is the most up-to-date guide as over the air guide is updated
twice a date and sooner if necessary if there is a schedule change.
