Well, I reduced the polling interval for vdradmin to 60min, just because I
saw no need for the 10min interval. With only 10 channels (this is on the
barren outskirts of civilization, TV is a new phenomenom here) the time
taken by vdradmin isn't too much anyway. :) You could do the same to at
least make the problem less frequent.
