There are 210 Designated Market Areas in the United States. The vast
majority of them each have a local affiliate station for each of the
six national commercial broadcast networks and the national
non-commercial broadcast network, plus several independent
stations. Each of those local affiliate stations uses a broadcast
schedule slightly different from every other affiliate for that
network. Each of those independent stations uses a broadcast schedule
slightly or entirely different from every other independent
station. Many of these stations, affiliated or independent, air
programs on more than one channel, each with a different schedule.

As much as I'd love to be able to say that we US MythTV users can
follow the Swedish example, Mattias, it's just not possible.
