As far as Igor's confirmation on "channel not available" I get this message only on DVB-S2 encrypted channels. I dont get it on encrypted DVB-S channels.
As far as Reinhard's suggestion for the Initial channel (to tune for a few minutes before the card actually tunes), I could not get a sustained lock. It locked after about 10 minutes, it gave me TS stream errors for a few seconds and then it lost lock. I have the feeling that the channel is not available at my location/dish installation.
Thank you Vangelis

So, I have checked on my VDR 170 your issue. I can confirm that on encrypted dvb/s dvb/s2 channels I receive the message "Channal not available"
But you can fix it easy :)
Go to Menu - Setup - Update channels - NO after that go to the channels edit (red button) - change CA field from encrypted to Free to Air
