Ok, that would explain it. VDR can't know whether the tv station has
deliberately stopped bradcasting, or something else has gone wrong
(like driver hangups, which were a frequent problem some time ago).

If you want to disable this emergency exit you could comment out the
lines

      if (time(NULL) - t > MAXBROKENTIMEOUT) {
         esyslog(LOG_ERR, "ERROR: video data stream broken");
         cThread::EmergencyExit(true);
         t = time(NULL);
         }

in dvbapi.c.
