I don't see any error here.

Ignore them, the driver is probing the possible demodulators it can have. 
In fact your log looks good.

Yes, but the problem some cards have (suddenly no data transfer anymore) 
is not fixed in 2.6.12. It will be included in 2.6.13. Or you use the 
patches for 2.6.12 from http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/patches/.

Btw. if you can, don't use the skystar2-driver anymore. It is superseded 
by the flexcop-modules.

This is just information about the driver situation. I'm unfortunately not 
able to help you with your real problem. Does VDR do an emergency exit or 
why do you assume that recording is not possible anymore?

best regards,
Patrick.
