Channel change issue

[garygamb]

Just bought a MVP and have noticed something right off the bat.

When I change the channel the video keeps playing, but then it pixelates and the audio skips around for about 1-2 seconds then it goes back to normal playing of the original channel and then I get the channel change happening in the mpeg file. This is really annoying.

is this normal for the MVP? My only frame of reference was using the TV-out on the PVR350 and it would pause the video when a channel change would happen, then resume playing the original channel for about 2 seconds and then I would see the channel change happen in the mpeg file.

If this is not normal, any ideas?

I have the minimal OSD box selected and that is it

I have a:
P4 2.8 Ghz
1 Gig RAM
200 gig EIDE hard drive
PVR350 and PVR250
100 Mbit LAN connection

Unfortunately, thats normal. That fairly normal. It's not as smooth changing channels as I'd like, but unforntunately the MVP wasnt really designed for watching TV. The device isnt that great at switching between files.

Could a checkbox option be added in the config app that would configure the MVP to pause the video stream and then change the channel. In effect doing what the TV-OUT of the 350 does?

I did this manually and this seemed easier to put up with than the pixelation and weird sound issues.
