Each assumes they are the sole source of guide data and overwrites
the others data.

They tend to have differing title/subtitle/description contents
for the same shows, which throws duplicate detection off.

And generally it's a bad idea.

Use one guide source per channel, not multiple. ie you can use
both, provided there is no overlap between the channels being
updated via that method.
