Data for PVRs (again) ...

Following my post from a few days ago

Does no one on here know ? Really ? I thought a few of the regular American posters were well into U.S. transmission standards and composition, or is that analogue only ?

I don't know the answer to your question because I don't know what CRID is.

Is that supposed to be some standard, who is using it? Except for a mention as a draft in RFC 4078, my google finger is failing me.

As far as I know, most people dvr's here in the states use the guide and rely on the data provided to it. So if Fox says American Idol is going to run from 8pm to 9:04pm, if the guide is programmed to show that, the dvr will record it. If it's an accidental overrun, no, the end of the program will get cut off.

I noticed some dvr's like from Comcast seem to keep track of shows that usually overrun, when you try to record it, a new screen pops up saying it may do so and gives you an option to record past the shown end time in minutes.

Except for some low powered stations, there are no analog broadcasts here anymore. I know they used to bury some neat shit hidden in the signal back then, but these days, no clue.
