Depending on your Tivo S2 model, some SD shows need to be transcoded (converted) to a compatible SD format on the fly. This greatly slows transfers between the S2 and S3/THD.
From what I recall, the need to transcode depends on the quality setting you are using for analog channels on the S2/S3. My understanding is that shows will transfer without any transcoding (conversion) -- hence much faster -- when you use a certain quality setting for analog channels. I don't recall what that is.
