If that's an official statement going forward, that's unfortunate.
Prior to present version, I've used SD + EIT for literally years, with
ZERO issues. Having EIT present to make last minute changes (national
events, president speech, etc) to make sure I get the right program at
the right time, has been welcome, and useful.

Honestly, this sounds like something in the matching algorithm is
messed up. I don't have EIT debugging running, but I would hope that
merging EIT data into existing data should meet some fairly strict
criteria. It's ODD it would only change the program description, and
not time or program title.
