IIRC, the DVB EPG contains an event id for every event (schedule entry), which is used to identify events and changes. So if the start time changes, they send the same event with the same event id and a different start time, and thete are no dublicates.
In principle, yes. In practice, either there is a bug somewhere in VDR/vdradmin or the broadcasters are not doing it that way.
I do not use any outside sources but still get duplicate timers (or in worst cases even four) from vdradmin. This leads to a question:
In the case where at some channel the schedule changes so that the event ids are changed for the programs, does VDR delete old events from its data structures?
