I wouldn't recommend getting too aggressive with lowering the
timeouts, as my experience with cablecards is that occasionally they
can take a bit longer to complete tuning. This is especially true if
you have a tuning adapter. So you could lower it to where it seems to
be safe and then occasionally have a failed recording. I'd think it
would be better to play it safe. Is there really much to be gained by
lowering the timeouts (other than getting an error back a little
quicker if you are watching livetv)?
