I can't say I have that particular problem (I also build my own image).
Sometimes it takes a bit of time before you have an image, but that is after it has tuned (so no error message), it sometimes takes long before decoding starts (you can see that in the oscam debug output), and I've noticed that if the root tuners are busy, zapping on leaf tuners takes longer. In both cases, FTA channels are faster. This is a driver issue, and is on the list.
OpenVix probably has the FCC code from VU+ incorporated. FCC basically pre-tunes the previous and next channel using two additional tuners, so that when you zap, it simply switches to the pre-selected channel on another tuner.
We haven't, as it's implementation is crap, and it has lots of unwanted side-effects. It also only works if you really zap (previous/next channel), which not a lot of people do. For those people, it doesn't bring any benefit. And worst case, it blocks 3 (root) tuners.
p.s. the FBC tuners are quite a bit less sensitive than the standard tuners, so it could also be your dish isn't setup properly?
