Mail the list the log of the frontend and backend when you can't change 
channels.

Are you changing to a non-transmitting channel when it locks?

What video sync method are you using (opengl,sleep)?

What video driver are you using (Xvmc, Xv,  X11)?

What sound driver are you using (alsa, oss, arts)?

What tuner are you using (PVR150, PVR250, PVR350, PVR500, DVB-T, DVB-S)?

More information helps,
Paul
