Most programmes of the ARD have started using status 2 (and 1) also. I had a lengthy e-mail conversation with the technical support of ARD Digital about the problems the had (and still have) with broadcasting the correct running status. The situation has improved since then, most VPS timers work correctly now. I'm very glad that they now use status 2 so that most recordings contain the beginning of the show or film. This was not the case until some months ago. > Apparently they haven't read the standard closely I almost come to the conclusion that they *didn't* read it. There is much room for improvements, e.g. "Das Erste" is still broadcasting 2 channel audio in one stereo MPEG stream. Regards, Andreas.
