Force channel reset causes ptv to rebuild all your channels. If you just updated your library and want something you added to get assimilated into your ptv channels immediately then you should check this off. The next time you start ptv it will be unchecked and ptv will rebuild your channels.
The background update setting is whether or not you want ptv to rebuild channels while its running. If you set it to minimal then ptv will start and build all of your channels before playing anything. If you set it to on then ptv will build your first channel, start playing it, and then in the background build your other channels. Once it finishes building all the channels it loops back around and checks if any channels need to be rebuilt based on your setting of "time between channel resets." I'm not sure if it does this when set to minimal as well, because i always have it set to on.
