Not quite and by a margin, there's only one source producing updates so 
you remove all the issues to do with conflicts and merging. It's not 
rocket science really, if you have a telly or a set top box that 
provides program guide info (even if just "what's on now and next") 
there's a very good chance that that's how it works. And it does work, 
on half the brain of a 20th century mobile phone.
