Personally i've patched VDR ever since i've started writing Master-Timer 
nearly 5 years ago.

The patch 'shifts' the 10 minutes writing to:
the epg.data-file has to be at least 10 minutes out of time

After that you just have to make the epg.data file a bit older and VDR 
updates it the next moment.
touch -r /bin/bash /video/video0/epg.data

Here's the patch:
