Since I've upgraded from VDR 1.0.1 to 1.0.4 I often have the 'channel xx not
sync'd'.
With 1.0.1 that problem didn't exist. I have that problem on two machines,
one with 3 Nova's and a LNB with integrated switch claiming 'channel xx not
sync'd' at about every second or third switch of channel. Tonight and today
(clear sky, no wind, quattro-LNB, 90 cm dish, 9/8 Multiswitch with
integrated ampilifier) my parents VDR also restarted after a 'channel xx not
sync'd'.

I think this isn't really a problem of bad reception as it happens with
nearly all Transponders even at perfect weather but a software-related
problem ...
