Maybe for one channel... The delays are going to vary from channel to
channel. And the delay can add up to several seconds. Nothing to get
upset about, but I'd chose ntpd over dvbdate any day.. (except maybe
for determining the end of a recording, there you want the delays..)

I see that as the major benefit. But a MythTV box without a couple weeks
of listings is pretty dysfunctional. So far, transmitted EIT data only
goes out a few days.
