Hmm... I'm definitely seeing different start times; could it have
something to do with the fact that I'm using a remote sender to
control my cable box instead of an instantaneous built-in tuner?

Still, some weeks I've seen it start almost a minute in, other weeks
it's been nearly perfect.

I'm not sure I understand; wouldn't we be double checking anyway, just
checking more often?

Thanks...
