Why is the EPG so bad?

Ok, so i know this has been discussed a few times here, but i am really getting fed up with my box's epg, on the odd occasions that it does work, it is so slow as to be un-useable.

Yesterday, i went out for the day so decided to do a little test, 9.30am, press guide, go into all channels, oh look - gathering data, left it on that screen, got back at 7.30pm, guess what - yes - gathering data.

what is the point of an epg that clearly does not work.

My sister has sky, you press tv-guide on her remote and the epg updates almost instantaniously, so why is it so difficult for ntl to do the same.

I know the epg is not the only service ntl operate through the boxes but apart from the red button interactive which is just about useable as-long as you are on the correct channels, this is just not even worth having.

Come on ntl, pull your finger out and give us an interactive experience that for the price we pay you each month, we deserve.

There, thats my ranting over with.
