It's obvious that NO EPG infos in ZDF are complete, if
they have more than 2 line.
Mostly it cut after 4 "main" lines, sometimes there
are 5 lines. But never complete.

The EPG texts are completely different from the description
on the teletext pages. 

Today EPG shows a decription not belonging to the transmission.
teletext info was correct.

It sounds very much that way.
