The most disappointing thing from that video, and it showed it at least twice was the time the red screen displayed blank when switching to the EPG from normal TV. It did seem like and age (about 5 seconds) to me from the time the screen went into the top right and the red screen filled the screen, before the UI actually appeared.

When speed is of most concern is with the most often used functions, ie launching the EGP. Things you do less often like search for programs, set recordings etc are not so relevant IMO.

Take home message.. They really need to work on preloading whatever is taking so long to launch in the EPG. Things like the ads at the top really should be being background loaded all the time, not just when you launch the EPG.
