And how do you think VDR should know whether this is not a driver failure?

Why don't you just _not_ program timers for programmes that you can't
receive, anyway?

Ok, there's one thing that could be done: VDR could touch some log file
whenever it does an emergency exit, and does the next emergency exit only
after some time has passed since the last one (like, say, 10 minutes by
default). Would that help?
