Does your 1028 change channels in the middle of a recording against your will :B

No it doesn`t seem to be ABLE to change channel/source whilst recording or in record:pause. However if you mean does the recorded programme, when played back, appear to change channel, then YES it can do.
On my swisstec DVR-1028 , this occurs when recording on a previously used (and erased) +RW disc.
As the recorder works at 4x speed (I believe), it is idle 3/4 of the time whilst buffering video data. So it records for a few seconds, then waits. Sometimes it fails to actually write to the disc when it should (may be a calibration or tracking problem) so during playback it would show a few seconds of new recording than a few seconds of previous(ly erased) recording.
IF THIS IS A COMMON OCCURENCE it points to a bad batch of loaders and all machines should be returned under guarantee. Anyone else experiencing this please join and post so the extent of the problem can be measured!
