Go to change the channel, and the screen freezes (on the previous
channel) and nothing happens.

If I look at the logs I see errors along the lines of "timeout error".

No stuttering. Freeze happens immediately.

I can't answer this. In my case though, it seems to be a competition
between my PVR350 and Nova-T card, which one can cause the most
inconvenience :-(.
