Comment(by danielk):

 (In [21976]) Refs #6897. Applies a conservative workaround to DVB timeout
 problem.

 The DVB driver bug has apparently been fixed as of Linux 2.6.31, so 2.6.28
 through 2.6.30 are the only affected releases. In any case I'm leaving the
 ticket open because it appears we really want two different behaviours
 depending on the device. For DVB devices we want to wait a long time
 recovery, while for HD-PVR devices we want to exit poll so we can reset
 the device, since it will not auto-recover. In all cases we probably are
 dealing with real error conditions that result in bits missing from the
 recording so we should note this and mark the recording as damaged.
