Hmm... I wouldn't say that the current behaviour is "without any risk"
at all ;)

As a compromise:

How about a configurable timeout option which sets the time one is 
willing to let a certain DVB card wait for a signal to come back. After
that it would be ok to restart VDR. Personally I'd set that value to
somewhat around 2 hours, so my other running recordings wouldn't be 
harmed... *That* I'd consider kinda riskless :)
