No, the channel change can't be instantaneous. What you are watching is
a stream that's been recorded to disk and is played from there. You are
usually 3-4 seconds behind, so it'll take this time to change channels.
There might be a possibility with playing the first minute a bit slower
to accumulate the 4 second buffer, but I don't think I'd like that.

Hint: Use the browse mode!

This is due to the slow hardware. ME6000 on this side. Got lots better
with the pvr350 though.
