I've actually not been annoyed enough to do anything about the
fact that sometimes my card/mythbackend locks in this loop
(I do not have part time channels available here, but once
in a great while my cam refuses to start decrypting..).

Your correct as that is partly a ignorance in the dvb code, and
partly and ignorance in the mythtv recording code as a whole
that the wait loops are mostly hardlocked. It should be fairly
trivial to do a clean fix of the problem though, feel free..
