Might want to try a different color blending method -- go into 
TV->Setup->Program Guide, and play around with the 'Guide Shading Method' 
setting.  The default (Colorized alpha) is pretty slow if you don't have a 
video card that does accellerated RENDER stuff.  Won't look as nice, but if 
you're displaying on a TV, you shouldn't notice a difference.

Same issue as above, I'd think.
