20 seconds or so might not seem a long time to you but to me it is. (20 seconds is an estimate I havent actually timed it but its slow) Friends have commented on it and said the same and they would not consider Virgin for tv for this reason. They have Sky. Now apps thats another matter as I have said before I do not bother with the Tivo for apps as talking minutes to load not seconds but I have much faster means for apps in my Tvs hardware

The hardware may be five years old but as bills continue to rise I would expect performance to advance not go backwards as bubblegun said sky+ hardware is 6 years old to but hasnt slowed down the box just cannot cope with what Virgin want it to do perhaps if they just concentrated on it being a PVr , provided a dynamic epg and did away with the apps it would be faster but I appreciate some customers may have no other way of getting the apps.
