Sorry for not coming back to you earlier. I would suppose it's just
laziness on the part of the receiver manufacturers. If the receiver
manufacturers were willing to shell out the money to get it done
right, they would have done so. So I don't see any job opportunities
here..

And if it's a problem with the underlying stream specifications or how
the stations broadcast them, then it will probably never get fixed :)
