i can confirm that using pause mode this occurs very surely on
Astra Sky-News, i sometimes simply _cant_ record the CBS News at 01:30,
this might also depend on the mux used by sky, but sometimes vdr even
fails silently, giving 0 bytes files for no obvious reason.
So if anyone could cross check this, it might help checking your theory.
if you try this for sky news, it might work as expected for normal
programming, although it also fails quite often. bit the cbs news is,
at least for me, always very troublesome.

one could check by copying the channels.conf entry for sky-news, lowering
the frequency by one and programming two timers for 01:30, one for each
sky-news channel.
