It depends on the TV or tuner box. Some are very fast and some are very slow. It is something you have to test before buying if you can.

Yeah, it sucks though that most tv providers supply the lowest-specced box they can provide. For my parents it was bad when they bought a 4k television, and the box "supports" that, though since some firmware update it starts lagging every 20secs. Dropped frames and the usual video-"smudge". I hope they get a (FREE) update soon. Because this is just a broken promise.

And I'm not even talking about the Netflix "app" that's on there. Holy s#!t that's slow. Or the TV-guide. They now resort to teletext because that's much faster... I mean...
