well, one showed only one of the guests on that night, the other had
more information as to the guest lineup. I'm using two lineups because
each tuner type receives different channels (or more accurately the
QAM tuners receive a subset of the channels that i can receive over
firewire).

I'll have to see if I have EIT enabled, but I don't believe I do.

It looks like the issue has "resolved itself" as all the description
information now looks to be the same, I'll have to see if the
scheduling side of has resolved though.
