Well, you could find out if it is VDR's fault by placing a
printf() (or isyslog()) into dvbdevice.c:cDvbTuner::SetFrontend().

But I guess it's a frontend problem specific to your site. Maybe
your LNB has a large frequency offset? You could try to play with
the lof numbers in diseqc.conf to compensate.
