Another idea for the textual version of the tv guide is to restrict the information on one page to either one channel or one time-box. Browsing through the tv guide "pages" (either channels or time boxes) then can be done with the left/right keys on the remote. Walking through rows on a page with up/down.
E.g. (channel mode):
Channel 1 08.00 program 1.... 08.10 program 2.... 09.00 program 3.... 10.30 program 4.... 18.00 program 5.... ...
E.g. (time-box mode):
Programs running at 08.05: Channel 1 Program w Channel 2 Program x Channel 3 Program y Channel 4 Program z ...
The tv-guide should be able to toggle between "time-box" and "channels" mode. This way more space (i.e. the total width of the screen) is available for a tv guide entry. Time-box mode could step by 5 minutes or so when pressing the left/right (pageing) key.
Hope this description is clear enough, mail me otherwise!

I "only" have a 1 sec delay when switching chanels (20 in total) . One could cache the channels and update them while the matrix is being shown (old pictures in greyscale, updated in full color) but hey, that are implementation details.
The guide can of course be designed in many different ways, I'm just
suggesting a different way to display a view on the tv guide.
BTW, I don't like the current tv guide. Too much information in many small boxes. If anyone has a new idea, please post. I can create that guide, but I need ideas from you.
