Re: [vdr] Error while Recording and loose signal

for some reason channel A fails because of a thunderstorm or a covered lnc (think bird) or one of several DVB cards have a problem with the reception (cable unplugged, wrong diseqc commands issued or whatever), which leads to a vdr which is restarting every 10-15 seconds, and all other receptions will be affected ...

Yes, it is problematic. But the only way to unload the drivers is to make sure they're not used any more, and that requires VDR to be stopped. Driver crashes are rare these days, but reloading drivers may have an effect after all. (for me, I sometimes have problems with multiswitch signaling, and powering off and on the LNB power can help in this case)
