It used to do it straight away!!! To be honest I like the new look, I'm pleased with the addition of Netflix which I'm scrolling through as we speak, but I think the standby thing is a little bit silly, and there's no way in hell that the box itself is faster. It might appear so because some of the menu transitions are a bit quicker, but the screens still take a while to fully populate. That said I've never really felt it was an especially slow bow either, given everything it has to do. On the plus side when you enter my shows now there is a handy on screen guide explaining the quick keys which pops up. That's a really good idea based solely on the number of people on this forum alone who have thought the my shows menu was difficult to navigate - it isn't, and Virgin/TiVo are finally giving the sort of information it's customers want.

I have renamed both boxes this morning so I am not sure if this is relevant. Thanks in advance.
Try Home>Help & Settings>Parental Controls> (enter PIN) >Lock Apps & Games

If Netflix is shown as blocked then it either needs to be Unlocked or Locked depending on your preference.

Any good?

Changing channels definitely faster!!! MUCH less delay!

Apart from that don't see much difference.

Thought it might me more exciting lol.
BIB - I've spent a few minutes playing around and only just occurred to me to change the channels. Yes, you're right, that definitely DOES feel zippier.
