On my 2020, I always thought flipping through channels was a bit slow, but I could live with it. When we got the 4320, both my wife and I noticed that it took the 4320 about twice as long to change the channel as the 2020. For the sake of this discussion, both systems are communicating with the same Sony Sat B50 DirectTV box over the serial control line.
Over the months, we have often grumbled about it, but just assumed that it took the 4320 longer to change channels. Then I visited my friends place, and saw his 4320 in operation. He has his 4320 hooked to a ATT GI cable box over the IR port. The GI box has a channel display, and when the 4320 changes channels, I noticed the channel digits come in VERY slowly, just as if a human were punching them in over a remote control. It now occurs to me that Replay probably slowed down the digit transmission, probably because they weren't changing channels reliably enough in some extreme configuration. So all of us have to live with slow channel flipping due to some slow box out there.
Does anyone know how to speed up flipping between channels? I KNOW my D* box can handle it significantly faster since my 2020 works reliably all the time. Surely there must be a way to change the transmission speed parameter in the 4xxx. How do I speed up switching between channels on my 4xxx?
