[vdr] Re: Bug, or just me?

To follow myself up AGAIN :)

Reading through the archives I suddenly remembered VDR complained about the 
EPG data, and told me I should fix it :-)

Probably my best shot at finding the problem? I guess I could use an older DVR 
since I can't receive Pro7 anyway, but it'd probably be more useful to try 
and help find problems in the newest code.
