I noticed the same problem. IMHO it is caused by the videotext decoder 
of the TV set and has nothing to to with VDR or the driver.
Try the following when you see a 'mixed' videotext page: Switch your TV 
set (not VDR!) to another channel, then switch back. When the videotext 
page is received again it will be displayed ok. Right?

Whenever you switch channels on your *TV set*, the videotext circuits 
are initialized. But when you switch channels in VDR (or video recorder 
or analogue SAT receiver or whatever is connected to the AV input), the 
TV doesn't detect the channel change and the videotext buffer will not 
be cleared...
There are more funny effects: When you press the key for the 
previous/next page you may get unexpected results (wrong page)
etc etc.
