After updating to the latest release I am no longer able to what TV. When trying to tune to a channel it buffers quite a lot and video will eventually freeze.
Also if I go to the main menu, it has a horrible lag when scrolling through the menu. Overall the performance seems very poor.

I also having this problem. But it started already from Helix 14.2. With Helix 14.0 I did not have the issue.
If I disable OMX AND MMAL accellaration and i disable Sync Playback to Display the livetv works.
With OMX or MMAL on video freezes and sound continues. I do not have this issue on my PI2 with Openlec 6.0 beta 3.
The workaround works but is annoying when watching a 1080P movie. With MMAL disabled my mkv videos are unwacthable. With MMAL enabled mkv works perfectly.
The latest update also solved the freezing but i still suffering lags and chips in the sound and video.
I am using dutch digitenne and I only have this on channels of a specific bouquet.
Can anybody direct me in the right direction and/or what to look for in the logs?
I disabled omxplayer, mmal and sync playback to display and this improved video and reduced the sound chips significantly.
But i find video quality lower. With omxplayer on video quality is much better.
Will test it more tonight. What are possible solutions if this would be the cause?
I have a hifiberry DAC and cannot use it with MMAL disabled.
After testing Popcornmix proposed settings with mixed results I decided to look on the server side to try to locate the problem.
Because livetv was working in pre 14.2 versions I thought the problem was on the client side and did not thought i could be on the server side.
It seems that on the specific bouquet vdr had a lot of TS sync errors which correspondent with the lagging on the screen.
After searching the web I found a newer firmware for my AVerMedia A867 DVB-T stick (af9035-2.fw) and after updating I am happy to say that the problems are gone. I also have a better reception of the other channels with a clearer livetv as result.
