You can do "Setup/Restart" in such a case. After all, you're sitting in
front of the TV and can decide for yourself whether or not you want to
do that ;-)

But of course you can modify the program so that it also initiates an
emergency exit for Transfer Mode.

In your particular case, where apparently the UPT error occurs regularly,
enabling WAIT_FOR_LOCK_AFTER_TUNING in VDR/dvbdevice.c would probably be
the best, though.
