It's a bloody pain in the hole on PS3, I can tell you that much... You used to be able to click on various options and get where you wanted to be quickly, or they were just right in front of you, now everything is scrolling sideways before pushing up, then scrolling sideways again. It's hard to explain, but it's definitely not instinctual compared to the old method.
Bugbears (on PS3 at least):
It can take ages to start up sometimes.
The search function appears to be a '4.55pm on a Friday' effort.
Favourites, while a good idea quite well implemented (folders!), currently has short term memory loss on occasion.
You can't select what specific time position you want to jump to, it's 1 minute approx jumps only, and they bring up two massive borders while you're jumping about onscreen trying to make it work.
Unless I'm missing something, most of the controller buttons don't work any more, which means jumping around onscreen again just to go 'back'.
There's no 'quit' option short of the PS button, quit, then twiddling your thumbs... You can't jump to the net from it any more either.
There's less interesting show titles (the BBC3/4 stuff that occasionally makes it to BBC2) on the homescreen compared to the previous incarnation, or at least it feels that way.
It's a real step back in terms of usability, and unfortunately it looks like the PS3 version is what everyone will be getting going by what I've read/seen
