Can you find out what is the smallest timeout value that works for you,
and send me the "Using DVB card X, with frontend 'XXX'" line from 
your backend logs (when run with '-v channel' ?

My line looks like so:
2006-04-10 22:10:52.865 DVB#0 Using DVB card 0, with frontend 'Oren
OR51132 VSB/QAM Frontend'.

I'd like to figure out what a sane minimum is. The values I picked
work for the pcHDTV HD-3000 and the Air2PC 2nd gen card, obviously
your card takes a little longer to tune, but I doubt that it takes
a full seven seconds... (an extra second is added for QAM tuning).
