It just means that the new service allows grabbers to configure things
without requiring a user to login to a web site. Which isn't to say
that lineup management can't be on the Schedules Direct website at
some point, just that during the beta process it isn't.

User lineups on the XML service haven't been brought over to the JSON
service because the initial pool of testers is using lineups that
aren't necessarily "theirs" in order to test things out, especially
the new data for lineups outside of the U.S. and Canada, which didn't
exist on the XML service. That's why the instructions for the grabber
tell you to add a lineup.
