Those theories sound plausible to me. It might be interesting to know if the DTV boxes' clocks are set in real-time to each station's data when you're tuned to their channel. ...Or if the boxes' clocks "flywheel" between occasional updates according to some schedule, e.g., once per day or something like that?
