Yes, I had the delay as well. Two moves on the guide
and then the frontend would freeze up due to the
guide. I'd hit escape and anywhere from 1-5 minutes
the frontend would come back to livetv on the full
screen. It was only on a few HD channels so I switched
to XvMC and the guide problems disappeared. I have two
tunes one being a PVR150 and the guide was never a
problem with the 150.
