Yes, that's the annoying bit. Unfortunately I don't have the sources the
provider is using to send the data, but I can happily hack vdr sources
to work around the problem ;-)

Maybe it's just an error, maybe they don't want you to know that you can
actually watch the channel without a subscription (yes, I know it's
stupid, but so is stupid the way they treat epg info).
There are also cases of promotional unencrypted channels and/or
unencrypted because of error/new transponder (IIRC the sci-fi channel
and a couple of others from sky uk did this last year for a couple weeks).
I'm also wondering, in case they switch from encrypted to fta, how is
vdr going to know that if it forbids tuning to the transponder and know
that the channel is no more encrypted?
