Channel update handling

I couldn't find this described in the documentation. How are updates to a channel handled on a user's Roku? Once approved, are they pushed to every device with the channel installed? Does the user have to visit the Channel Store or take some other action?

If the user takes no action, an approved updated channel will be pushed to any devices that have it installed within about 24 hours. Or the user can visit the channel store and get it sooner (simply visiting and exiting the store should be enough to trigger the device to check for and auto-install updates).
