Manu,
I've tried to increase those timers long ago when played around with my card
(Twinhan 1041) and scan utility.
I must say that I've concentrated mostly on DVB-S channels that wasn't
always locking.
I didn't notice much improvements. The thing that did help was increasing
the resolution of scan zigzags.
I've sent a patch on that ML and people were happy with the results.
The patch went to Igor's repository, don't know were it goes from there.

I believe DVB-S2 lock suffer from the same problem, but in that case the
zigzag is done in the chip and not in the driver.
Since I have no documentation of the chip I was stuck and left it. So if you
have the knowledge or documentation of the chip,
try to go in that direction.

By the way, question to those who have such channels:
Does windows based applications show those channels properly?
