Just wait until you want to record a film on, say, ITV2. You know, one of those which is split in half so that they can stick in some other programme, the scheduled start and end times of which are works of fiction.
I've found that a nuisance too. You have to get used to it, because in printed TV guides they often just list it as one programme with a note that there's a break for something else in the middle. I think it would be worthwhile for VDR to check whether the next programme but one after the one you're recording has the same name.
That won't work where channels are showing back-to-back episodes of a series, eg the endless 'Friends', or the 'Dibnah' series on UK History.
I just tried to use vdradmin to find an actual example, but vdr 1.3.41 seems to have broken it again. More later...
