I had the delay problem with my old SD- direct tivo.. but in September, I got an HD-Tivo and now the only delays I have is the reacquisition if the format changes.. (like DD to stereo) so fast forwarding has no delay and typically changing channels has no delay either..

So.. I'd think it's more of a design flaw in the other tivo's rather than with the 950.. It seems like the sd-tivo's are ressetting the output when something is changed and that's not always necessary
