I don't know about the driver itself, but for VDR this isn't
harmful, as long as it occurs while VDR is trying to scan the
transponders for EPG data. As soon as it needs to do a recording
it will perform a restart, though, since it has no way of telling
whether this is a permanent problem or whether it can be fixed
by re-loading the driver.

You can comment out the line

  esyslog(LOG_ERR, "ERROR: channel %d not sync'ed on DVB card %d!", ChannelNumber, CardIndex() + 1);

in dvbapi.c to get rid of this.
