But attempting to change directly from a non-HDPVR channel to a HDPVR always results in a frontend hang.  My workaround is to switch to the HDPVR source before changing channels. As you might expect, non tech-savy family members will probably struggle with this one.

This is exactly my experience.  I can change from one HD-PVR channel
to another HD-PVR channel, but when I change from my DVB channel to
HD-PVR channel the frontend ALWAYs hangs.  It plays for about 5
seconds then hangs.  The HD-PVR appears to still be providing a
signal.  I will see if I can gather more info.

BTW prior to this I was running .22-fixes, and although there were
some stability issues, it was not like this.  If anything the HD-PVR
seems more stable than the previous version,  as long as I don't
change channels from another source.   Mind you I've only been running
on .26-fixes for about a week.
