[vdr] Bug or (useless) feature ?

Hi List,

I noticed a bug in vdr versions since 1.0.2... If the (cable-) channels.conf
contains channels which are not broadcasted in your area, vdr just hangs
on trying to pull some EPG data out of these. This could only be solved by
shutting down vdr, reload the DVB drivers and then restart vdr which is *very*
annoying because the "normal" vdr watchdog doesn't catch this...

Is this a known issue ? Why can't vdr just skip "empty" channels on EPG
scans ?
