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.
