It can do all that decoding, but can't repsond to a keypress in a timely manner?


And you know it isn't responding...how? Giving you the channel/video signal
you desired is only the end result of its response.


What I mean is while navigating menus etc, if you press a key, then press another key 0.5 seconds later, the second key has no effect as it was still busy interpreting the first key.
