Gee, on my box, Video Sources ends up describing video suppliers NOT 
where to get guide data. Where we *get* guide data is in one of the 
screens for North American users, settings which are ignored by large 
chunks of the globe.

Since one supplier supplies a grouping of channels (determined by 
scanning and adding/deleting channels) then the name 'TV Channel Groups' 
makes sense to me and is more descriptive than 'listing'.

Video Suppliers is one possibility, but then 'OTA' does not 'fit' as a 
supplier since the OTA group is actually made up of a number of 
suppliers...the networks and stations received.
