There is a big problem with the EPG on Pro-7's and other related channels
since last night, 01:00.

You can make the following change to VDR/eit.c to completely disable
the EPG for the moment.

--- eit.c       2002/01/13 16:14:31     1.31
+++ eit.c       2002/01/29 17:02:29

 void cSIProcessor::SetStatus(bool On)
 {
+   return;//XXX
    LOCK_THREAD;
    schedulesMutex.Lock();
    ShutDownFilters();

The stale lock file is most likely the result a a crash due to the
EPG problem. Just delete it and it should work again.
