Are you sure you aren't using event ids after all? I got that exact same
behaviour when I used event ids on those same channels as the event ids
tended to somehow change after to program had started, causing VDRAdmin to
think it was another program. Excluding those channels from the channels
that could use event ids solved the problem (at least on VDR 1.2), I
haven't used VDRAdmin yet on 1.3.

Do you really have something like this in vdradmin.conf:

NO_EVENTID_ON = 6,7

6 and 7 are the problematic channels (MTV3 and SubTV).

Heh, I will. Seems we'll be having weekly meetings with some of your work
pals.
