Looks fantastic.
My only concern would be the resetting of the navigator after a download
has begun.
Currently, at least for me, if an episode is selected from a channel at the
end of the list, then once the download starts the navigator resets itself
back to the top of the list.
For people with small lists or very large screens this isn't a problem but
for me (who has, obsessively, 58 channels in the list) it can be annoying
that I have to keep scrolling through the navigator every time I download an
episode.
