IIRC your log file excerpt contained lines like

  ... panic level: 0

There is only _one_ place in VDR where this line is logged, and that's in
cThread::RaisePanic(). This function is _only_ called from cDvbApi::SetChannel(), 
which looks like this:

  if (event.type != FE_COMPLETION_EV) {
     esyslog(LOG_ERR, "ERROR: channel %d not sync'ed on DVB card %d!", ChannelNumber, CardIndex() + 1);
     if (this == PrimaryDvbApi)
        cThread::RaisePanic();
     return scrFailed;
     }

It would seem pretty obvious that there *MUST* be a message

  ERROR: channel ... not sync'ed...

before the 'panic level' message. Since you say that there is no such message, I have no
idea what's going on on your system.

However, to be honest, even if that message would appear, I couldn't explain why tuning
fails on your system. Maybe the channel settings from channels.conf.cable don't fit
your local cable setup?
