I have had it a little over a year... LOVE IT!!!
Only gripe I have is that the program guide and the on demand menu lags (they work off your modem)...

Actually, that's not entirely true. The guide is downloaded hourly via the Internet connection, but it's local on the box when you're using it. Guide lag isn't due to network access.
You're correct that the VOD commands traverse the Internet, and that's realtime.

I've had if for about 1 1/2 years now...Internet seems a bit faster was getting 12MBps with cablevision and now just under 20Mbps... 
Best thing was the quality of the TV compared to cablevision even the standard TV channels.
And I now get BBC America...Top Gear, Primeval, Doctor Who
