Plus, it would be a bit of a nightmare to not miss or duplicate any channels. Well, on the face of it it would... but I'll look into it.

Wouldn't there be a flaw here?
Wouldn't that freeware syncer (can't remember the name) just dump a copy of data.xml on my PPC everytime I accessed ActiveSync?
If it were to do that, the viewer would take another xx minutes to do what it needed to do each time it opened after the sync.
To have to go through that every few days would be undesirable, when I just want to take a quick look at tonight's telly.
What you COULD do is request for a manual conversion:
"A data.xml file has been found on your PPC.. would you like to update your database? Warning: this many take a few minutes."
