== Provide an orientation ==
Contributors need an orientation, and a framework into which they can put their contribution (or withhold until they understand the overall framework that their own understanding fits. Many contributors merely understand their own limited environment, and presume to generalize. For example, mine is limited to a northern Virginia broadcast TV EPG on a digital converter. If I were to extrapolate, I might presume that most broadcasters are as careless as mine about accuracy, and reliability. It often takes weeks for changes in the program broadcasts to be reflected in the EPG. Some broadcasters provide nothing but the call sign & the channel #, with "No description". I don't suppose there is one clearinghouse for this information, but that viewers must contact each stationhouse manager to inform them of persistent malfunctions, because the station staff probably do not monitor their own EPG as well as they do their video(if at all).<br>
It might be a limit of my receiving set, but only the next few (2-6) hours of programming is available in the EPG. There are also websites that provide parallel and analogous information in a table format, which could be printed for planning purposes: http://epguides.com/grid <br>[[User:Wikidity|Wikidity]] ([[User talk:Wikidity|talk]]) 01:43, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
== Make article less US specific ==
The article talks about ATSC and PSIP whereas many countries are using DVB building the EPG from the EIT(schedule) SI data. If the article is going to be specific about how US systems build the EPG, would it not be sensible to include information about how DVB systems build their EPG?

== Make article include Digital Radio ==
The article should also consider the EPG broadcast using the Eureaka 147 standard (and possible HD-Radio standard).
