VDR sets the running status accordingly, so that at any given time there
is only one event with running status 4.

Are you sure that the stations you are talking about actually switch
the running status when the broadcast begins or ends, respectively?
RTL, for instance, switches the RS at times that are only loosely
related to the actual begin or end of a broadcast.
