[vdr] Re: Outdated EPG-Box

[Jon Burgess <mplayer@jburgess.uklinux.net>]

I have seen a different inconsistency between the Now/Next information 
and the schedule data. I examined the EPG data and found a program 
listed as lasting 24.5 hours (it should have been 0.5 hours). This event 
was stuck in the EPG as running "now" since VDR still believed it was 
still running, even though the schedule also had other programs listed 
after this event.

As far as I can tell the only way this event could have got into the EPG 
data is a bug in the transmitted schedule data. The program is no longer 
listed in the EIT being broadcast at the moment so I can't confirm this 
for certain.

I searched through my 7 day EPG and didn't find any other occurances of 
this problem. The longest other program I found in the schedule data was 
I think 19.5 hours long which covered the time between shutdown and 
restart of a channel with a limited broadcast schedule.
