Sky+HD box very slow responding to remote control...

    I have a Sky+HD box and over the last few days several problems are occuring...

    When I change channel, it can take up to 10 seconds.

    Browsing TV guide and planner is also very very slow, again time between button pressed and change on screen is several seconds.

    On playback, forwarding at 6X or higher does not work.

    What could be wrong? I have tried the rebuild function - seemed fine for a few minutes, but no difference after that.

    Have Sky sent me some crap upgrade for this to happen?

    Mine isnt that bad but the remote does take a couple of second to change the channel.

    Is it just the last few days or so?

    Perhaps we all got a crappy update in the software. Grrr. :(

    What version of EPG do you have, and what box?
