I know, that video recorders (at least some) scan all channels, which 
are programmed for a vps recording. I assume, because sometimes 
xmissions start earlier than announced. But of course they don't 
evaluate the information about earlier or later xmission in the epg. 
Will vdr see such an announcement and evaluate it?

Yesterday I had another glitch with vps recording. The xmission started 
32 seconds late. And the last seconds are missing. The xmission was 
announced as being 87 min, we actually have 1:25:06. The syslog is

Mar 29 23:40:38 (none) vdr[26869]: channel 14 (ZDF) event 23:40 'heute 
nacht' status 4

Perhaps you could add a vps margin to stop. ;-)

I fear, my wife will now disable vps as default. :-(
