Under kernel 2.6.6 (modules dvbcore, mt312, skystar2
loaded) dvbtune enters an infinite polling loop, as shown
below.

Under 2.4.20 it simply pauses a few seconds then
receives an FE_TIMEDOUT and stops.

    The issue appears to be with either the drivers or the
    hardware (prob combination of both).

    A workaround might be to have dvbtune give up after a few
    minutes if there is no success.
