I did a quick hack - its not very clean - but it helps 8-)

(works for 1.0.4 etc)
Go in file dvbapi.c to the
              
"esyslog(LOG_ERR, "ERROR: channel %d not sync'ed on DVB card %d!", 
ChannelNumber, CardIndex() + 1);"
(around line 2468)

Change the
cThread::RaisePanic();
to
// cThread::RaisePanic();

(then it is commented out)

After that recompile vdr (dont forget the make clean).

With this change vdr will not raise the panic-level on channel-not-sync - 
and dont restart, etc.
