What tuner are you using ?

Sky, DVB-T or something else ?

Your IR speed could be slow.

If you're using Sky, try controlling your box using a Sky Eye.
You'll find it'll be far more reliable than a stick on IR emitter
and you should be able to adjust the IR speed to fast (In your TV
setup. Go in to Settings -> TV ->Set up TV Signal. You'll eventually
get to the IR speed setting)

If you have MCE and your tuner hooked up to your TV, try changing
channels in MCE whilst watching the tuner input. You should find
that the channel changing should be quick. But if you watch it
through the MCE input, you'll find it appears slower. This is
because the the input is buffered - an inherent feature of PVR's.

There is a hack available to switch of the PVR function. I haven't
tried it myself yet but it's worth a go :
