I think you're right, but it would seem lke they could transmit the
entire guide every few hours and not tie up the system very much.
Considering *one* cable modem user can use the system to receive much
much more data, the guide transmission is small potatoes in the grand
scheme of the bandwidth game.

Undoubtedly. It is all text, but it does seem to transfer on a queue from
the particular node that needs it.

It may depend on the system one is on. My area is fairly
undeveloped, and the provider is a small privately owned company
(Metrocast). When I was in CA, it would take overnight (Comcast).
The difference is probably about 100k (or more) users on the network
using the same head end.
