Sometimes that is only channel tuning data, not necessarily listings.
That's why I suggested "Channel Data" because primarily it is a list of
channels (lineup) that a given input/source/whatever is able to record
programs from. The program listings are associated with the channels but
not necessarily in a 1:1 relationship (program listings could be re-used
for multiple lineups).
