Agree the current EPG software (middleware) is dire and needs to die a painful death. Yes, I like the BT service too. Even the EPGs on cheap Freeview boxes are superior to VM's.
Whether this new VM middleware is better than the old is yet to be proven. It looks nice, yes, despite the red colouring, but how does it work outside of the lab? Can you change a channel quickly or, go and make a cup of tea while waiting for the channel to change, like the current software? The fact this uses flash gives me concerns. I've yet to find anything with flash that I would call quick, but just hope that is not the case this time round.
