I noticed a problem in VDR's EPG today, using vdradmin. The problem programme is "Malcolm in the Middle" at 18:00-18:25 on Friday 14/01/11 on UK DVB-T ("Freeview") channel Fiver. When I click on the link for the programme description I get the details for the following programme, "Zoo Days", instead of Malcolm.
I've tried deleting epg.data and restarting, but the same thing happened. But when I ran boxstard, which has EIT harvesting, that showed the correct details.
Can any other UK VDR users confirm or deny this? I'm using 1.6.0-19.2 from Debian unstable amd64, which is the stock source package of 1.6.0-19.1 to which I've added the Freesat patch.

I suspect vdr-admin hasn't synced in a while, do you see the same behavior with vdr-live?

Not now, but I wouldn't have thought that was the reason because I tried vdradmin just after restarting VDR and the EPG was mostly empty; those events hadn't arrived yet. I think the broadcast EIT has been updated since then, because there are 2 episodes each day and when I looked in the afternoon the details were missing for the second episode every day, whereas now they're available.
