That's a good one :-)

I just called the "ARD Digital Playout Center" (0180/5001495) and told
them about it. The lady on the phone suggested I should set the time on my box
correctly - very funny! Since it works correctly on all other channels
I told her that the problem MUST be on their side. She said she would tell
the proper people about this. Unfortunately she was unable to connect me
to somebody really in charge of the EPG. Would have been funny to actually
speak to somebody who screws up like that...
