All events are stopped (status 1) on 0100 CET/0200 CEST. So if you have 
an event that runs from 0030 CET to 0130 CET, it will stop (status 1) 
on 0100 CET. For the next event, in this case starting at 0130, 
everything will be okay, so status 4 will be transmitted at the correct 
time.

So for every programme which will end (or might end in the case of a 
delay) after 0100 CET/0200 CEST, you'll have to take into account that 
the VPS timer will stop at 0100/0200.

No, I don't think this is the right way. This is really something the 
broadcaster has to fix.
