[vdr] EPG data length

[Jan Ekholm <chakie@infa.abo.fi>]

Hi,

As my VDR box has now been exceptionally stable for a while I've again
started using it for "serious" recordings. In the process of using VDR a
lot more I've noticed that the EPG data that VDR shows about a program can
sometimes be cut in half. I select a program from the normal program list
an press Ok to get info about it, and long texts are always cut off. VDR
seems to show a few lines of the EPG text, but then it suddenly ends in
the middle of a word.

Looking at epg.data I see that the data is already cut off in that file,
so VDR probably just displays whatever it reads from the file. 

Is there some maximum length for the description string for a program and
the problem here is that our Finnish channels just send too long strings,
or is it something that VDR/DVB determines? It looks a bit silly to have
the descriptions just get cut in half. :)

'Educational' refers to the process, not the object. Although, come to think
of it, some of my teachers could easily have been replaced by a cheeseburger.
