Hi MetalHepple.
Have looked at the software website, I see a demo version is available - did you try the demo first or plunge straight in with the full paid version

Tried DVBViewer pro and channel switching is no better, so if MetalHepple can explain how he managed to do this would be great.

Even on my PC, Mediaportal takes maybe 2-3s to change channel. A lot of it comes down to the tuner you're using as I found my Hauppauge Nova-T 500 PCI card was somewhat faster (although still slow compared to a STB) than the K-World USB tuner that I'm using now.
Switching is considerably slower still on the Pi XBMC though, which is obviously not TV Server's fault so hopefully some optimisations can be found there to speed it up.
