Our point is that only new users channel surf. Experienced users have so
much stuff recorded waiting to watch that they never feel the need to look
for something on right now to watch. I've got something like 50 hours of TV
waiting to be watched so why would I waste my time surfing?

You have realise that a system like MythTV is not a better VCR, it's a
completely new thing with a completely different usage model. It's a
paradigm shift. Supporting obsolete usage models is nice, but it's not the
focus. If someone were to write faster channel change code and it didn't
hurt existing functionality it would be accepted (providing it fullfills the
usual requirements).
