Has anyone else noticed this? I have a Series 2 540 unit. If I fast forward on 1x speed, it goes no problem. But if I use 2x speed, it constantly flashes back and forth between the normal 2x speed, and something maybe 10 seconds ahead. So I'll be fast forwarding, and then you'll start seeing it flash between a commercial and the show I'm watching. I hit play, and it's still in the middle of a commercial, fast forward on 1x and you see the end of the commercial and the show start. But always on 2x you see the future playing in between the normal show. It's gotten to the point that I have to basically fast forward, see the show I'm watching come on, keep fast forwarding for about 5 seconds into the show then hit play, to have it start playing at the end of the commercial. So strange..

That's normal behavior.

That behavior accounts for reaction lag. Especially helpful at 3x FF.
