While we're on the off-topic of time, it strikes me as perverse that the

Because they are part of the real analogue network and all these other new

talk about running BH a set amount ahead of clock time and applying
various delays in the various feeds but when you really start looking at
the implications it rapidly becomes impractical.

Thanks for that.
