It might be the channel changing or channel lock that is doing it. I 
have the same problem. Watching recorded shows only takes a few seconds 
and live tv takes about 10 or so. Sometimes I think it is locked up, 
then it starts working. I should verbose the backend and see what steps 
are taking the longest.
