What is channel zapping speed, another word for how long it takes to change channels?

**Iceberg** · 11-21-2009 01:04 AM

I assume so

Channel changes are a lot quicker now.

Adding 480i video resolution for component and HDMI video output is a biggy for me LOL.

Confrey,

Yes, that is about the size of it. Switching channels, even on the same satellite where a motor does not have to rotate the dish, changing channels may require a few seconds to bring up the video and a few more seconds to bring up the audio. It is worse when you must drive the motor to a new sat and then allow the tuner to lock in on the signal then bring up the video and audio.

If you are used to a fixed point dish array with several dishes and the ability to "switch" between any channel almost immediately you would notice this delay with the AZBox. It is a pet peeve of channel surfers, but most others probably wouldn't notice the slight delay. I don't mind as I am used to waiting upon the moto to drive to the sat position, but it is highly noticeable in some instances. When I switch between RTV east and west, I can count to 8-12 at times before the video and audio lock in. This can be annoying.

AcWxRadar, that's interesting because changing frm RTV east to west for me takes at the most 2 seconds. And that's with 0.9.3686 firmware. But even if it took 12 seconds it wouldn't bother me.

Ok let me rephrase that, 12 seconds is a long time if you are waiting for it and the dish doesn't have to move.
