Like the new look. It's fast and clean. Couple of questions though. I noticed that text is a lot bigger and there is more blank space between items. In the TriPanel view you used to be able to fit 15 items on screen, now it's 12. In the list view you used to be able to fit 13 items, now 7. Is this the look you are going for, or is there going to be a more compact option for text? It's just a lot of scrolling, on my 50" tv everything looks too big and there's just a lot of wasted space.
I also noticed on the main menu the sub-menus take a second or 2 to show once you hit the down arrow, where before you had an option to always show them.
Also no logos in the corner on TriPanel (720p/1080p, channel name, ect). I think someone already mentioned this though.
Minor nitpick, but the 10 day weather forecast layout is kind of odd. Instead of a vertical view where you see the next day under the previous, every day goes left right, left right, ect. Visually it's just kind of hard to follow. If you are keeping the 2 column view, I think it would make more sense to go from top to bottom instead of side to side, if you get what I'm saying.
