There is no difference in the way channels are switched. The pause you are observing when entering a digit is the time VDR waits for more digits (DIRECTCHANNELTIMEOUT in menu.c). Since when entering a digit the channel display comes up, maybe that's what disturbs the DXR3 device? In order to test this you could try commenting out all displayChannel->Flush(); lines in menu.c.
