That's a good question. Maybe, after every "update" or "forced update" of the firmware the first configuration of the ICF somehow gets corrupted (and progressively corrupts itself on each configuration after each EPG update) to the point it takes hours to configure. But once we download a "fresh" copy of the exact same ICF from PC to iPronto, everything's fine. Since I've been downloading a "fresh" copy of the exact same ICF once a week from PC to iPronto, I really don't know for sure. By the way, a few days ago I went ahead and optimized the ICF file for size (making it as small as possible) -- now the configuration time is even shorter (literally a few minutes).
