There is no difference in the way channels are switched.
The pause you are observing when entering a digit is the time
VDR waits for more digits (DIRECTCHANNELTIMEOUT in menu.c).

Since when entering a digit the channel display comes up,
maybe that's what disturbs the DXR3 device?

In order to test this you could try commenting out all

   displayChannel->Flush();

lines in menu.c.
