[vdr] Strange behaviour (bug?) when recording on RAI channels

[Ondrej Wisniewski <ondrej.wisniewski@ericsson.com>]

Hello,

after RAI has changed the pids on their transponder 11766MHz V, I get a very
strange behaviour when recording any of the channels on this transponder. As
soon as the recording starts the picture disappears and a different channel on
the same transponder is displayed (Senato Italiano) even if it is not defined in
the channels.conf. The Audio works and also switching to the other available
channels works just fine.

I get the same behaviour when viewing any recording or replaying a file with
mplayer while being tuned to this transponder. The picture of "Senato Italiano"
is displayed but the audio of the recording is played fine.

I am using VDR 1.2.5. The problem occurs on this transponder only. Here are the
channels.conf entries:

RAI Uno:11766:V:S13.0E:27500:512:650:576:0:3401:0:0:0
RAI Due:11766:V:S13.0E:27500:513:651:577:0:3402:0:0:0
RAI Tre:11766:V:S13.0E:27500:514:652:578:0:3403:0:0:0

Can anyone reproduce this fault ? Is this a bug of VDR or something RAI has to 
fix ? There seems to be some problem in transfer mode.

I would be glad if anyone could explain to me what is going on.

Thanx, Ondrej ...
