Yeah it was my idea to use the VOD font size. But I also think the way it is now needs to be the default, and the other option should only be available in 720p or 1080i resolution.
I would do 8 channels by 2 1/2 hr. Maybe even a color button toggle to turn off the spoiler window and have a full screen guide with 11 or 12 rows of channels.
I like the animation idea as long as they are quick. A good UI uses subtle animations as visual feedback and to make screen transitions feel fluid and seamless while distracting the end user that the next screen is loading. They don't have to take too much resources. Most of them can be accomplished by mathematical subroutines. They already slide the info window down from the channel banner. Also SD boxes "shrink" the video into the spoiler window as the guide loads when you push the button. That window then expands when you exit. Its really a neat effect. Right now when I push menu or guide there is about 1 - 2 second delay. I wouldn't even notice the delay if it was masked by a screen fade in animation. It would actually feel quicker.
