I forgot to add, of course the two channels in my example would /probably/ have the same schedule 
information. This isn't guaranteed, since (for example) the contents of regional programs may vary 
across suppliers, but is generally true.

In this case you could pull the schedule information once but you'd have to filter it and apply it 
to two or more sources.
