It depends--it's just a timeout, so whatever number of channels makes it 
take too long for you (with your bandwidth, how busy Schedules 
Direct/TMS servers are, network congestion between, ...)

My recommendation has been to remove all but 1 channel, add the lineups, 
then continue with proper configuration.
