Give me a couple hours and I should have the exact details worked out on the delay channel switch change and I can post a diff. Also, I was thinking that adding a delay between live tv episodes should prevent the buffer from running out as discussed above, but does this mean that each time an episode ends we get more and more behind actual live tv? I would be nice to only do a delay between episodes if it is needed instead of embedding a static delay that would be added between every episode no matter if it is needed or not. For example, you watch the same channel all day and between each episode there is a 5s delay. By the end of the day you may have inserted enough delays to be 2-3 minutes behind. We just need to be careful to only delay if we really need to. Just something for us all to be thinking about with these delays.
