Normally I browse/change channels via the TiVo menu so its not a problem but if V+ is anything approaching this slow then it sounds almost unusable.

I personally think that the times you quote are unreasonable - I had 3 SA v+ boxes over 2 years, each started off ok & deteriorated past the stage you mention above (and no - the hard drive was not full before anyone asks) - ultimately the last box stopped responding and stuck on one channel - Seems weird to me that all of th SA boxes I have seem to suffer the same fate - Virgin Tech came and swapped out for a new Samsung box last week which is undoubtably faster than any SA box I have had (even when they worked properly from new) - The Samsung is very quick - on a par with a Sky Box I would say (so far)!
