I changed Zig's patch a bit for myself so that the groups (i.e., titles)
will wrap around, but the episodes do not, so I can easily get to the
bottom of the episode list. I had originally kept episodes as wraparound
but forgot to tell my wife, so she kept scrolling through the episodes
thinking "I don't remember this many recordings...". Oops, ding to the WAF
there... :-)
