Of course, it would help in this special case. 
But there is a general problem if EPG from other and actual TS don't  
match (due to a quick change of schedule or whatever):
In this case we have a funny mix of EPG info from other and actual TS.
The patch avoids this by assuming that the 'actual TS' is more 
authoritative than 'other TS'.
