Yes, that's exactly what's happenig.
In order to make sure the channel display displays the current event, even
if that event's end time has already passed by, it uses the "running status"
to identify the currently runnign event. In case you're switching to a channel
that hasn't been received for a while (and thus the running status is outdated)
VDR will show the wrong event. As I said, in VDR 1.3.7 the correct event will
be shown automatically as soon as the new running status has been revceived,
which is typically within one or two seconds.
