You need to apply the diff in 19094 (not reverse it) to make the backend 
ignore IDR and solve the problem.

I had to do the same using a Hauppauge HVR4000/DVB-S2 on Canal Digital 
Nordic (Norway) . I first tested by upping the 16sec (16000msec in the 
code) timer in the player to 10min and timed how long it took for the 
back-end to find an IDR-frame and start recording.  The results varied a 
bit between attempts on a channel, but more across the different 
channels. An average for 10 attempts differed from 18sec on the "best" 
channel to 7min52sec on the worst.
