Revisiting my 8x1 diseqc delay

I have been using a 8x1 Digiwave diseqc switch for some time now with my micro and questioned the compatibility in the past. I have been living with the sporadic delay when switching satellites and have a made a technical observation.

When waiting for the change, if I press the info button, why is the FEC at 1/4? Isn't this saved as part of the information with each channel? Does the receiver relearn or search for some parameter while I wait for sometimes 60 seconds. Sometimes the video appears for a couple of seconds then goes to the no signal screen.

If I decide not to wait and toggle between a couple of satellites I will get the change without waiting as long but requires additional annoying steps. All of this is with a strong signal.

The 8x1 is close to the receiver in the house and some others cascaded outside. I swapped around cables looking for a pattern and it occurs even on those on a direct port without others in line. The cable runs are pretty long but I don't have another brand 8x1 to compare. If I test with a 4x1 on just some dishes there is no issue.

I'm thinking of picking up a different brand of switch for comparison.
