[QUOTE="elliottmc, post: 929659, member: 14268"] Oh, feedback and comments on the shortcomings of MP are always welcome. The ideal would be that there are no delays. It certainly isn't ideal that a wait-cursor NEEDS to be shown. Unfortunately, the most common situations where you might need a wait cursor are things like channel tuning, and those are handled synchronously, so that with the current code, the cursor would be shown once but not animated, which would be even worse. The delays are due to the various TV tuning hardware and we have no real control over those, apart from changing the tuning time-out in SetupTV. For example, with the default (2 seconds?) if I try to tune to a channel that is not broadcasting, it will try all of my tuners before failing, which will be 10 seconds, but there is overhead on top of this, so it is not uncommon for MP to be unresponsive for 30 seconds. It's just one of those facts of life. I am sure we will continue to improve things. [/QUOTE]
