If I enable update transponders setting one (C-mux) of the available three (A,B,C) multiplexes gets updated to non-working frequency. Example:
"The Voice;SBS:770000:I0C23M64B8T8G8Y0:T:27500:513:660=fin:0:0:241:8438:12289:0"
becomes
"The Voice;SBS:674000000:I0C23D23M64B8T8G8Y0:T:27500:513:660=fin:0:0:241:8438:12289:0"
The same happens for other TV and radio channels in the same frequency. It is funny that the in addition to wrong frequency there are also three extra zeros in the updated frequency. I contacted the Finnish operator (Digita) and was lucky to get in contact with a helpful person. He verified that other NIT data is sent correctly here in Tampere so I wonder now if the problem is in vdr. He also told that the NIT data is sent in two parts, first A and B and then C separately. Could it cause that A and B work but not C.
Something like this happens in Spain. DVB-T channels are updated by vdr with an extra milliard (the thre 0s). Actually I see two copies of each channel. The right one with which I populate channels.conf to start with and another copy added by vdr with the three extra 0s. In addition, vdr sometimes updates fully operational channels to wrong values, which results in a blank screen.
All is solved disabling the 'Update channels' option, though.
