To the best of my knowledge it _does_ show the EPG of the channel you are
switching to. The only time where you may see the EPG of the _current_
channel is when you enter a channel number through the numeric keys.
That's because VDR waits half a second to see whether you are going to
type any more keys, and since the channel display comes up at that point,
but the channel has not been switched yet, you are seeing the current channel's
EPG. Once the timeout has expired the channel is switched and you will see the
new channel's EPG. If you use the Up/Down keys to switch you'll immediately
see the new channel's EPG.

So I don't see where anything should/could be changed here.
