The delay in channel changes while watching live TV is due to the face 
that live TV is cached in a ring buffer, to make it possible to pause 
live TV and do instant replays. 3-5 seconds of live TV is cached to your 
hard drive before it is played on screen. When you change channels, it 
takes a few seconds to see the channel change occur. BTW, TiVO and 
ReplayTV do the same sort of thing, but I don't think most people use 
them to watch TV, just to record it.
