PSIP can provide program listings 16 days in advance,

Well, if you say so, you ought to know.

But IN PRACTICE I'm lucky to get it at all, and if so,
for no more than 2 hours in advance. The Dish Network program
guide lists local NTSC programs and works fine days in advance.

I don't understand why PSIP does not work when obviously
it exists (some of our stations simply don't provide it at all).

I own three boxes, a Samsung, a Motorola, and an Accurian.
All of them provide poor PSIP but all are bad in different ways.
For some reason, on some of them when you go to the program guide they seem
to try to get it from a station other than the one you are tuned to.
This simply can't work because not all of them can be obtained on the
same antenna.
