Program Responds Slowly when Signal Quality is Poor

[jp2code]

If I were to use the tuner built into my television and a signal sucked, I push the channel change button and go to the next one.

I have noticed in NextPVR that when I select a channel that has poor signal quality, the entire program seems to hang until either a timeout is exceeded or enough signal gets through to let the interface respond.

This seems to be a bigger issue when using the NextPVR plugin with Kodi, but it also happens when I use NextPVR directly. The program acts similar to a web browser trying to connect to a website.

Is there a fix for this? It could just be some setting that I have not enabled.

the decoder/render chain expects good data, and tends to hang up when it gets bad data. not much can be done about it.

Kodi is doing it's stuff too. It just tries longer to buffer a bad signal expecting that things improve.

Darn.

Well, thanks for the info.
