OK, you found a bigbadbug I think.

The EPG is called using a system() call, and WEXITSTATUS() is used to get 
the returned channelrow.
The exitcode of mythepg falls over at channel 256 and higher...

Isaac: can you confirm this is the case, if so, turn the systemcall into a 
direct call of the guidegrid?

I can't help any further because I don't have a TV card here and can only 
check the EPG, not channelswiching.
