Sorry. My context here is cable boxes, which do communicate bidirectionally and somehow take even longer than DVB receivers to change channels. If you're actually receiving everything all the time, then there are other things you can do to make channel switching not take ridiculously long.

Cable boxes aren't bidirectional in the way you seem to think.
