Yeah, out here, Comcast just doesn't seem to do a good job of having the 
stuff synchronized to the correct time; the cable-only channels are the 
worst, I've found.  Part of it is that "one-minute overlap" they've 
started doing, but part of it is just bad timekeeping.

The local PBS station is also quite bad in that regard.
