I'm still not convinced entirely of the problem.  I don't recall there 
being any support in the 0.19 release for digital music channels (this 
was added post-0.19).  And most responders here have indicated that 
channels like MTV break up their guide data into manageable one or two 
hour chunks.   Now, it is entirely possible that he is referring to a 
post-0.19 digital music channel or guide data that is presented in 
"unlimited format", but given the relatively new state of that feature, 
it is expected that the management of it may not be perfect and 
certainly doesn't warrant a rejection of 0.19 in favor of 0.18 as was 
suggested.  Rather there are a number of workarounds that can be 
utilized as this feature is developed and certainly an inquiry to the 
-dev list would warrant some discussion of the best way to address this 
possible issue.
