It requires a little more legwork to set up, but is much nicer both in the mobile UI as well as the standard PC browser.
I tried using WebGuide on my 2005 MCE, it was worse because I think WebGuide is using a lot more CPU resources (than ORB) to re-encode the video stream on the fly.

But I definitely agree that the mobile UI is much better on WebGuide.
