This means that vdr could not tune to the channel; no idea why. Problem
with the multiswitch? Some strange plugin messing up HasLock()? Missing
or wrong entries in some config file, e.g. diseqc.conf? 
You can force vdr to use only the first card with -D0.

To check the SS2:
mplayer needs a channels.conf (or channels.conf.sat) somewhere in
its path, I guess e.g. in $HOME/.mplayer.
But you can also do:
In one terminal: szap -a 1 -r -n 1  (don't forget -r)
in another: mplayer -cache 4096 - < /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0

As another test, you could try to start vdr with the -D0 option, and
then repeat the test as written above with the ss2. If the first test
works and second doesn't, then there will be something wrong with your
LNB stuff.
