Boy, you're not kidding.  My Samsung HD receivers supports EIT data, and 
from what I've seen, the NY area networks I get don't even send subtitle 
(the episode name) with the data...just the show title and description.  Not 
to mention they appear to send less than 24 hours data.  The primetime shows 
for a given day appear to show up by about noon at best.  Yuk.
