My impressions--- can't tell you about 104 as I never had it. But 108 offered huge improvements in Trick play smoothness and instant skip back. But still some observations.
Slip ahead more fluid and by 10B you won't think about not having SKIP ahead.
Slow motion--embarassing with company to use--tricky, starts up in just under two seconds only if the green progress bar isn't there, otherwise doesn't count the 1-2 seconds you wait while it "times out" and goes away. frustrating when you are trying to replay something right after it happens. One button slow mo much better--why not pause where you want it anf then one of the trick play buttons is immediately slow mo from there--most obvious if FF so you can begin in the slowest and each flick of the button increases speed.
Skip back-108 seemed to improve this and make it consistant, but 10B seems to have done something different. Often while watching live TV, when I press skip back it simply freeze frames for 3-4 seconds before it goes back. !)* as far as I remember was an instant skip back. Anyone else have observations?
