I think having video in the guide is wasted screen real estate. If you turn off the pic in guide you get more channels listed. If one relly needs pic with guide hit browse instead. I have 8 irds in the house from dish and bell and non have pic in guide turned on.

I LOVE the enhanced with video guide. It still lists plenty of channels on the screen and I can still follow what is going on in the picture (especially helpfull when there are lots of ball games on). That "little window" is still pretty darn big on my 60" TV.

Touchscreen is more like what's on an iPhone or some PDA phones, and many (most/all?) Harmony remotes.
