I'm curious, is it normal for people to pause when first watching a
channel in order to work-around problems like this?
You've not said it, but I have heard a few people suggest that I should
avoid watching live TV and shouldn't ever "channel surf". However it
seems to me that this is just a work-around for an unsolved technical
problem.
Commercial PVRs seem to be able to change channel relatively quickly (at
least as quick as my two MythTVv boxes with DVB-T tuners) without
problem. Could anybody guess how they do it?
Thank you,
evade.
