[vdr] Re: Channel change delay

["Conrad Micallef" <conrad@waldonet.net.mt>]

Try different versions of the DVB module, they have different delays. The
latest one (linuxtv-1.0.x) had 4-5 seconds delays(s) - using the one
suggested in the VDR homepage should reduce you to about 1 second for normal
channels.

Also upgrading to vdr 1.3.5 or 1.3.6 can have a positive effect in this
regard.

Hi,

Is there any way to reduce the massive channel change delays? I am 
running 2 DVB-T cards and one Full Featured DVB-S card for output and 
channel change times are quite disconcerting.

Every time my parents change the channel they have to ask what's wrong 
as the screen stays black for 4 or 5 seconds. Does it really take that 
long to change frequency, lock onto the signal and buffer enough of the 
stream to begin displaying?

Regards,
Michal
