show, and often whether it's (New) or (Repeat). MC just displays the show's progress bar (it doesn't even display the
name of the show - to get this I have to hit up/down a bunch of times). Also, hitting info again doesn't make it
disappear - I have to wait for it to time out.

This.

I've suggested this a couple of times in the TV thread.

Channel, Start and Finish times, Program Name and Description.

me a bunch of good information about the channel I'm about to see if I stop clicking. In MC, it gets bogged down and
shows me (way less) info from the channel 3+ button presses ago. The time required to change from one channel to another
is about the same in both programs, but WMC feels way more responsive and shows better information.

OP, you can use the OSD to see what's on other channels before actually changing - Up / Down arrow till you see the program info, then left and right to see what's on other channels.

I agree that this could possibly be extended to include program information as per above (for current program only, not next program as well).

I can. Guests and family members can't. That's the hump I'd like MC to get over.

Yeah, I have that problem, too. So I don't invite that many guests  ;D
