I see the long delay when I start live TV mode, but from then on channel
changes are only a few seconds.  Certainly not six.  I suspect the long
delay on switching to live TV is because I don't have enough RAM and the
system is swapping when I change from one function to another, but I
haven't bought another stick of RAM to verify this, yet.  With only 256
megabytes of RAM and both the frontend and backend running I use a
significant amount of swap.
