Are you basing this assessment on the actual examination of the
encoded bit streams, or the time it takes to acquire and place on the
screen a new stream?
I do not have DirecTV, but Cox digital cable seems to have the same
problem. It can take 3-5 seconds to acquire a new stream, or longer
if the STB must change scanning format (I have the SA box set-up to
pass through each HD format, rather than outputting only one format).
I suspect that we are both experiencing the delay times for our
respective STBs, not long GOP encoding issues.
