I mean the Motorola DCT5100.. supposidely it is a new model, and Phillips has been getting calls on about it all the time. They came out and certifited the TV was definately HD-ready, yet the cable box still don't work for me. Maybe it is running some form of Windows, I seem to have much misfortune when it comes to Windows.
My Grandparents use Cox Digital Cable, it is slow for them to change channels too. It takes about 3-5 seconds depending on if its a digital channel, or analog (which seems wierd), and the guide sometimes refuses to display at all!
Thing is, when you go around to do PiP (Picture In Picture), Apples might crash when one channel becomes too intense. Sorry, I work with Mac OS 9 and every now and then Mac crashes while multitasking when Internet Explorer (work won't use Netscape, grr!) visites a "highly graphical" webvsite. Maybe Windows will be better for multi-viewing of channels, but it might require frequent box reboots... joy! Atleast I know I'll stick to Cox Digital Cable when they start using boxes that work out here, lovely Motorola DCT2100s that don't work with Phillips.. yay.. new TV, no digital cable. *Glares at cox*
Great... another version of Windows XP.

Yeah.. the value that they have to pay for Windows licenses on their Digital Cable boxes! More OS-tax!
