 Replying to [comment:4 janne]:

 "converter box" is the only hint that you're located in the USA and
 probably using ATSC. This does matter since MythTV has different code for
 different digital TV standards carrying EIT data worldwide.

 Yes, I'm very much using ATSC as the source for EIT.  I'm in a suburb of
 Minneapolis, MN.  I see this problem on many channels, so it's not a
 problem with one channel.  Perhaps I need to do some database queries to
 evaluate the data more closely.

 These don't appear to be from adjacent programs.  For example.  "The Late
 Late Show With Craig Ferguson" airs on WCCO-DT at 11:37PM April 13th and
 has a description of "When a priest comes forward with a person's
 confession related to the death of a 9-year-old boy, police reopen the
 case, and the boy's uncle becomes a prime suspect. (CC)"  This is the
 description of a "Cold Case" episode.  "Cold Case" airs on Sundays on
 WCCO-DT (4.1), but reruns also air on KSTCDT (45.1).  Because of this I
 can't even be sure that the wrong descriptions are coming from shows on
 the same channel.  In this example, the program that comes before
 Ferguson's show is "Late Show With David Letterman."  The program that
 follows is "Oprah Winfrey."  "Cold Case" is not on any of the other
 channels at the same time as Ferguson's show.

 What other information can I provide?
