+1 There is a problem here, nobody says that it is VDR fault but saying simply that VDR adopt the full standard and nothing can be done is not enough .. we have a solution for now and implement patch every time we change the release. This solution cannot be part of VDR core , why not , but my though is : if tomorrow private channels like SAT1 or Kabel1 change their streams, will you let all VDR machine fail to records Broadcasters do what they want with their stream as long it works for TV and external receiver and absolutely don't care about software receiver .. very few of them take care of what they do, I remember this old story about ac3 stream id in BBC HD who was wrong .. after years they fix it, why doing that ? because it was not OK on hard receiver At our level , and at mine, I do not understand all source code and dvb specification so as user I (we) try to do our best to help , uploading samples, testing and returning results or bug if any We can help !!
