Another somewhat annoying thing about the Toshiba....

It's one of the new models with a fully digital tuner although it still
processes analog. When you turn it on a message appears on the screen,
saying "Please wait". This lasts for a fews seconds as the tuner
apparently "boots" up. Then, if you change the channel with the remote,
there is a significant delay while it changes to the selected channel.
Screen goes blank and you wait for a bit.

Not good for serious clicker watchers.

Sounds like my Dishnetwork tuner.


Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I believe they buffer up a few
seconds of programming in the receiver before they turn it loose to
the television.


I wonder if you can adjust that like you can with XM or Sirius?
