Witnessed this at my sister's house.
Switching a channel took over a second.
Something about the decoder waiting for the key frame perhaps?
Made chanel surfing excrutiating.
I will not automatically expect digital TV to be superior to current,
will have to see it perform to believe.

Anybody have "The Agency", (CBS 2001-2003) archived?
