This is apparently caused by VDR's EPG "bugfix":

      // Some channels put too much information into the ShortText and leave the
      // Description empty:
      //
      // Title
      // (NAT, Year Min')[ ["ShortText". ]Description]
      //

which in such a case removes the (...) part.
Please try commenting out this part of the code to see whether
it works then.

I do wonder, though, why they write the information between brackets.
There's absolutely no reason for that...
