Comment:

 (In [15730]) Adds option to disable active eit scan for DVB cards

 Some dibcom based usb devices (including the Nova-T500) have a nasty bug
 which is mostly triggered by our continuous eit scanning.
 The card becomes useless until the device nodes are closed and reopened.
 Implementing a recovery function in MythTV would be mess since
 dual tuner cards are affected and we would need to close both adapters
 simultaneously. Fixes #2741.
