Suggestion: Only update defined channels ?? As Klasu stated a lot of channels 
are very static. Some channels change from time to time , some channels you 
can't find w/o your patch (or at least you can't identify them ;)) Then there 
are channels that have linked services (AFA I understood ARD and the likes) 
but are very static. Taking all that in account would make it very fast while 
switching and only slower on some channels. But that is all sth. after all 
needed tech is implemented ;)
