I'd say that you need to ask the channel providers, not the VDRAdmin
folks. At the same time you could ask them to start providing proper EPG
info, ie use the title, subtitle and description fields. VDRAdmin worked
well even when event id:s were not used at all, as the times for programs
rarely change.

Btw, I see you are from Movial, I was visiting your office a few days ago
for a meeting. :)
