does the new HD GUI remove the 50 'show' limit

There is no "if", it does, period.

Actually as far as "eye candy" goes I prefer the DirecTV HD GUI over the Hopper/922 style GUI. I find the new font DirecTV uses easier to read. Also I think that the look of the HR34/HR24 is much, for lack of a better word, "higher end" than the Hopper/Joey, with their blue lights and smooth piano black face.

That was my point; who cares about any "eye-candy" the programming is 99% of the deal and that's what I would be worried versus a GUI and thus I am here with DirecTV

Same here. The new HD guide is imo, a considerable improvement over the old guide but I've stayed with D* for the overall programming choices vs the other major players.
