I agree, with one caveat. I still use the LiveTV feature, although not as much as I used to (because even though I'm on the west coast, most of my channels are east coast feeds, which necessitates recording everything).
Even though I still use LiveTV, I would never, ever "channel surf". What's the point, when you have full program information available with only a button press? If I'm watching LiveTV (because, perhaps I've watched all of my recordings), when I want to find something to watch, I'll scroll through the program guide. It's much more effective than scrolling through every channel. Even with a real TV, channel surfing is a pointless waste of time. While you're busy going through your 50+ channels looking for something to watch, you might be missing something you'd actually enjoy. -- Joe --- Andrew McNabb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Oct 17, 2005 at 11:08:55PM -0400, Sam Krupa > wrote: > > > > What is the fix for the channel changing problem! > > > > Everyone knows that changing channels is slow, but > most of us don't > care.
