This annoyed me enormously too, but it seems to be something they do with
the event id:s for programs. At least for me the changing event id:s meant
that VDRAdmin kept prolonging ongoing recordings sometimes for hours.
The great folks developing VDRAdmin tracked down the problem and
introduced a nice setting for vdradmin.conf where you can set the channels
where even id:s are *not* used. For me that is:

NO_EVENTID_ON = 6,7

Which are the id:s for the channels MTV3 and SubTV. On these channels
VDRAdmin will only use the time and date for recording, not the event
id:s. Since that (and the recent daylight saving fix) VDRAdmin has been
stable as a rock. :)

Maybe this helps, maybe not. The Finnish DVB providers are however
clueless...
