You get that error when TS packets are missing (the continuity counter 
in TS packets do not match) from the stream. In this example that is on 
reception.

It can mean:
1) that the cards are not initialised properly (it is known to happen 
with a the old DVB drivers). The indication for this problem is that 
upon a fresh reboot everything works fine, but over time when the cards 
are tuned several times this problem occurs.
2) there is a bad signal from the satellite, which results in the loss 
of lot of packets
3) the computer is not fast enough to read the packets from the DVB card 
(but this is not very likely except when the computer has a high CPU 
utillization)

In any case use a more recent stable vls (e.g: vls 0.5.3).
