I also use 2 DVB cards (kernel 2.2.13).
I do get this error once every few days.
It must originate from the EPG scanner's attempt to switch channels.
The driver issues a 'commandrequest error' and from then on it
doesn't work any more. Reloading the driver cures it - until next time.
I don't know what I could change in VDR to avoid this...
