Hi,

i know this bug...something going wrong in the event handling since
1.3.7/1.3.8...

You see vdr set your first timer (DS9) to the event "Voyager", and thats
wrong. The Yoyager timer could also set to the next following event, so take
a look for unknown recording titles, because vdr uses mostly the wrong
episode name in this case. Or maybe vdradmin delete the timer.

You could try some workaround and disable the new event handling in menu.c

near line 2738:

  const char *Subtitle = NULL;
  const char *Summary = NULL;
-  if (event || GetEvent()) {
+  if (GetEvent()) {
     Title = event->Title();
     Subtitle = event->ShortText();
