Tivo slow response
 

I have a tivo unit I purchased a few months ago. It's no big deal but when I
open the guide and scroll, the screen takes a while to refresh. I page down
and it takes a few seconds to display the programs. (can be annoying if
paging down a few pages).

Is this normal?

Thanks

Yep, it's normal. This is why most everyone uses the Tivo Live Guide, as
opposed to the Directv Grid.

what's the Tivo live guide?

The TiVo Live Guide is the alternate display format from the DirecTV
Grid Guide.It is accessed by hitting the GUIDE button,then hitting the
DISPLAY button.When the screen menu appears (generally a transparent
one),go to the entry marked "STYLE" and toggle between the two to see
which one you like best.
In my case,even though the DirecTV grid guide is slower,I prefer it
because to me it is less visually confusing.The TiVo Live Guide while a
little faster,gives me a headache if I have to use it for long.But,to
each his own guess.

An alternate to the grid guide. When in the guide press info, go down to
where it says Directv Grid and press left or right for the tivo guide.

I like the Tivo guide much better. I can scroll thru all the channels in
a few minutes and see what is coming on hours later. Once you get used
to it you can never go back (I tried a few days ago... shudder).
