Comcast TiVo HD Guide

Click to Play

Checking out the new Comcast Tivo HD Program Guide. Shows in HD are designated by 'HD'. There's also a button to filter out all shows so that only HD shows are displayed, you can also do it via an on screen menu. It took 53 seconds for the screen to refresh. Movies, Kids, Sports, and News come up right away, as does All, but HD takes a long time.  

Comcast is aware of the problem and is talking to the hardware manufacturer about a fix.

I wish there was a good way for Comcast to have a conversation about this with me other than having to call on the phone or log in to their chat.

Maybe a web page with known issues?

Call me crazy.
