This has now happened twice on my 921. I will be watching a channel (regular satellite channel, not OTA) and try to change the channel. If I hit either the up or down button, the banner for the next channel will show for about a second and then the banner for the channel I have been watching will come up and the channel does not change. Also, if I type in a specific channel, the banner for that channel will appear for about a second and then switch back to the banner for the current channel and it will not change channels. I tried several different channels with the same result. Finally had to do a front-panel reset. After that it worked ok. I was not recording anything at the time, just watchind an SD channel.

I run into this from time to time as well, although in my case, it's usually with the OTA channels. I think what's happening is that something internal is causing the 921 not to want to switch tuners, so it gets into a "stuck" state at which point either it will release and make the change, or everything will get very sluggish, leaving rebooting the only option.
