And the way to solve this -- at least for the case of consecutive channel surfing -- is to have multiple decoders and multiple buffers. It's simply precaching.

Eventually you're going to run into RF limits, especially if the signal is coming in over the air.

You're sure this is engineering laziness? How much extra would you pay for a TV with faster channel changing?

I'd pay extra for it. I'd pay even more for a TV that didn't spy on me and that couldn't update its firmware without my consent. But I'm probably not the target consumer.
