As reported at:
        https://tvheadend.org/issues/5625

Retrieving certain status can cause discontinuity issues.

Prevent that by adding a timeout to each status logic.

Currently, the timeout is estimated based at the channel
bandwidth. There are other parameters that may also affect
the timeout, but that would require a per-delivery system
calculus and probably more information about how cxd2481er
works, with we don't have.

So, do a poor man's best guess.
