The Tivo is doing so much more and constantly pulling metadata when you explore a show. All these whiz bang features will come with a bit of overhead. So it takes 3 seconds to display my shows big deal.

The EPG is lightning fast way faster then the V+ ever was. I agree that there are a few places where they can improve so hopefully in future we will get more performance enhancements.
Regardless of the metadata it is pulling, I still believe that with todays technology that TiVo should be much faster. I still think that poor firmware is holding it back.

Oh and bring out the bloody qwerty keypad, or an app to control TiVo fully already!
