I don't know how far back you are talking (0.18 was my first
experience). Back then it did indeed have that problem of not
capturing all the show, but there was no difference in channel
changing time (my 0.18 system was pretty much identical to what I get
in 0.21 now). Back then it was still recording to a ring buffer so you
could pause and rewind. Perhaps prior to 0.18 it actually did
completely unbuffered TV.
