For me, channel switching with a TT DVB-C budget card + DXR3 has always (been using this setup for about 14 months or so, almost always with the latest VDR 1.3.x version) looked something like: half a second black screen, no sound, then picture and audio normally for about half a second, then frozen picture + sometimes pixelation and stuttering audio for a few tenths of a second, then everything ok.

I haven't ever found this overly irritating though (but patches of course welcome if someone finds a fix);

Use vdr 1.3.12, and you have a very "clean" channel switching. With version 1.3.13 vdr got some important changes on buffers. The dxr3-plugin has never been adapted to this. I think it has to do with the demuxer. I remember several postings from Christian in the last 12 months that he is working on it, but he never released anything.
