I notice it most when dialing up a channel number the response between pressing a number and seeing it appear on the cable box is slow, if you dial too quickly the box misses a number so 147 shows up as 17, then you need to press a number again and start again.

When the guide and other visual aspects appear on screen you can almost see the box drawing the graphics, line by line, like those spectrum loading screens you used to get.

CR3 performance sucks.
I absolutely agree, these are the reasons that I ended up binning the digi tv service. I was getting a severe anger problem waiting 2 - 3 minutes just waiting for the digi stb to change channels. So I lowered my blood pressure by saying bye-bye to digi.
