As I said: the reception is not my problem. At the moment this happens I looked
at Pro7 (dect issue I know) and had a bad picture. Ffmpeg reported a lots of errors.
femon showed non zero BER. Then I switched to ARD and had zero BER. So I think
tuning to ARD was successful. Tuning back to Pro7 brings non zero BER again.
I could could toggle between them with same behavior of BER.
That makes me think of: the data transfer just did not start.

One time it recovered. There was a vdr retune followed by a manual retune.
This behavoiur sound similar to Halim Sahin's response from 2005-06-24 20:02 .
