Well now. . . First thanks for clearing up some misconceptions I have had. At the SMPTE conference in Pasadena a few years ago, in the book shop, I looked at a book devoted to PSIP that was easily 2 inches thick. Not an evening read or something that could be digested while putting out all = the daily fires. I admittedly mis-spoke about cable re: EPG. I haven't any experience = with digital cable. I should know better than to make assumptions. With my = DBS service, when it says "No Information Available" It would be nice to be = able to see the stations own program guide. Not that it would necessarily = have information either. If audio delay were such a snap, why is it I have to stop watching = programs so often because of such bad lip sync? I will have to be more careful to note if this is more prevalent on DBS = than OTA. The going work you describe in regard to PSIP is encouraging, indeed. Do you know if cable and/or DBS operators pass through local HDTV = content or is it trans-coded to reduce bandwidth?=20 Regards, Tony ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
