I had this problem when a new channel is on different satellite and 
positioner movement delay causes tuning failures. Zapping inside 
terrestial channels and between sat and terrestial work perfectly if 
dish movement is not needed. Perhaps there are dvb driver and dvb hw 
dependencies? I use default drivers with 2.6.7 kernel. I increased 
channel switching time parameter to about 25s which is the worst case 
for me for 28.2E->1.0W movement. I think it made some improvement effect 
because now after waiting patiently some time the channel appears. The 
ch+ ch- trick is usually faster after dish movement.
