In my case I know for sure that many/most of the timer entries that get
left behind are normal timers that got to run until completion without any
human intervention, and in most cases, no human activity at VDR at all
apart from the recording. If I was to manually stop a timer I could well
understand that the timer would get left behind.

But, it is no real problem to go manually delete a few timers every now
and then, I mainly thought you'd be interested in getting the final minor
glitches ironed out from VDR.
