This is the main reason I still stick with MediaPortal. Channel changes are less than two seconds. Same with Windows Media Center. The best I can do with XBMC, regardless of backend, is 6 seconds. Try explaining that to a wife! Not gonna happen. Also, it's not asynchronous so the whole system freezes during channel changes making it seem even worse. MediaPortal let's you flick through channels with having to wait each time.

Did you try the margro builds? These got my channel change times in XBMC down to about 1-2 seconds (depending if the channel I'm changing to is on the same frequency or a different one).

No, I don't think they have included the speed up fixes in Gotham yet. You still need a special margro build for this.

Hey,
are their any builds available for android which speed up channel swichting in xbmc with nextPvr?
Some other question is, why the quality of the live tv is so bad and if this is a general problem.
I Use Gotham 13.0 on android and an acer pc with nextpvr as tv server. The video quality of live tv is really bad especially if their are fast pictures like in football games or action film.
I have already set Deinterlace video to on but this does not really help.
So I know bad quality is very relativ to a person but I hope you know what I mean.
Any ideas?
Best regards.
