I do find it a little concerning that the ability to change channels has suffered, in the sense that it is slower than it has ever been. After all, fundamentally, the point of television is to watch the programmes, and no amount of menus or red button frippary is of the slightest interest if you can't get from BBC2 to BBC4 (or whatever) at anything other than a snail's pace.

I rather think the speed you get from channel to channel is now on a par with the seventies, when you had to walk across the room to do it. What price progress.
