If you're talking about the program guide during LiveTV, it may be due 
to using bob deint (or another similar deinterlacer).  If so, change it 
to something like kernel or linear.

If your database specifies a location for a channel logo and the file 
doesn't exist or isn't readable by the mythfrontend user, it will be 
slow to scroll up/down (i.e. expose new channels in the guide) even in 
the GUI (non-LiveTV) guide.
