It's not a relevant comparison when to get to said screen you have to go through 2 or 3 others? You can't just pretend you're starting off on a screen that's already a few levels deep in the menus to make the comparison so as you can save a few button presses
I'd also disagree with easier and quicker as well when the epg is 1 button press away (guide) whereas planned recordings is... lots of button presses away. Plus most the time I want to cancel a recording it's because I'm watching it so I'll be going to the channel anyway (or it's because I've accidentally hit the wrong thing!)
