In fact you now have to be careful not to miss a channel on the way!

Loading apps is much quicker too, obviously it's not instantaneous as it has the additional task of connecting to the internet; it takes about the length of time that the old TiVo takes to change from one linear channel to another.

What's Sky Q like in this respect?

Sky Q is instant whether its accessing a menu or changing the channel or accessing On Demand. You'd really have to see it yourself though, there are a number of YouTube videos and reviews. Using the now/next mini guide on Q is so fast I do scroll past channels sometimes but their on now also shows a mini video of what is currently on that channel if you leave it there for a few seconds.
