The delay is just needed for switch. If it were in place for spawn too then it would delay when live tv rolls over to the next show. The issue is the fast switching doesn't wait for channel changes to complete. As for the livetv stopping between shows, I think it is related to the HD ring buffer running dry before the next show starts playing. The buffer runs out and since there is nothing ready to play it just stops. This is just a hunch though, but others have said that increasing their HD ring buffer size fixed the issue. Just don't make it so big that you start swapping. If I get my channel changing working again in xbmc I can test that theory, but as of now I can't even tune at all anymore unless I use the default mythfrontend until we work out the delay issue.

I bet you are seeing the same issue as me. On the first channel change it tunes but fails to play because xbmc didn't wait for the tune to complete. I bet if you looked at your tuner, it in fact did tune the first time. The second time you tune it is already on the right channel so playback just starts.
