There was no work on improving the channel switch time. This is all related to ffmpeg (internal library) which parses the video/audio transport stream. There's nothing I'm aware of a pvr plugin could do about this.

To speed up channel switches you could provide your own demuxer that knows about your stream structure and does not have to analyze like ffmpeg does

Wouldn't it be possible to move the "PVR" demuxing into XBMC? That way all addons could benefit from it - after all I guess almost all TV-Streams look similar, don't they?

Another reason for this is that I'm really bad in coding, so every complicated thing that is handled by the experts is a good thing for me
