Comment(by ug32axm at cs.bham.ac.uk):

 I've been testing this and my description was slightly off.

 If it's a channel that I've already tuned to (in the guide) and I close
 the guide, I see a fullscreen frame of the video with osd and then the
 screen goes black, yet the sound continues.  I go back into the guide and
 tune to a different channel using select, the screen goes black and
 remains black until the video appears.  The OSD then appears, showing LAMC
 or LAM.  I can then change to the channel I originally wanted.

 The main problem is the transition between the preview pane and fullscreen
 video - the video doesn't refresh and the screen stays black.  The
 secondary problem is that the OSD doesn't appear until the video has
 buffered after I choose a channel from the guide.

 Also, this seems only to be a problem with the nvidia drivers and XVideo -
 fglrx and XVideo works fine on my 9800pro but the video playback is too
 stuttery to be watchable.  CPU is a Pentium D 3.4GHz, 2GB RAM and I'm
 watching SD DVB-S.

 Hope this makes it clearer.
