Also compare how long it takes to get content playing when turning a smart TV on, compared to old cable. Yes, in general devices have MUCH more functionality now, but it shouldn't be an excuse to have user hostile experiences for getting things started.

It does seem like pretty much every device now takes much longer to get going than anything from before the early 2000's. I was amazed how in a car from the 70's, less than 1 second after the car turning on, the 8 track player was playing!
