Not about radio, but I've noticed often that the EPG for the
current day is often missing for one Finnish TV channel.
This may be related, since the EPG information for the next days
is always present.

There's some sort of setting for backgroung EPG update (or whatever)
in VDR, but I have no idea what that setting is supposed to be doing.
