Fast Channel Navigation - Who can Do it???

Hey

I have Comcast digital cable, and I hate how slow the channel navigation is.

Before digital cable, I could hit the "channel up" button on my remote 5 times as fast as I could, and without any delay, I would be on the 5th channel up, with no slow 'loading' or 'rendering.'

If I hit the "channel up" 5 times fast on my comcast digital remote, i'll be 1 or maybe 2 channels up, and the screen has to load, etc.

Same for the program guide - navigation is so slow and clunky with the remote. Rendering the menu takes too long. Each remote command takes between 1-2 full seconds to do anything.

I long for the glory days of fast channel navigation. Is there any way I can stay with current technology (digital cable or satellite) and get a VERY fast interaction from the remote, as well as a more intuitive and responsive channel guide? Or do I need to hook up my old analog cable box to get this type of performance?

If this is possible - please let me know!
