reststarting my vdr activities I went into trouble with dvb-t channels.conf for Berlin. Just took the channels from: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Channels.conf_DVBT-De-Berlin-Brandenbu...

There is the following entry for ARTE:

arte;ARD:191500:I999B7C23D12M16T8G8Y0:T:27500:201:202=deu,203=fra:204:0:2:8468:0:0

I was able to tune and watch tv on this channel, but there was no EPG available. VDR created the following new entry in channels.conf:

arte;ARD:191500000:B7C23D12G8M16T8Y0:T:0:0:0:0:0:2:8468:257:0

Tuning to this VDR generated channel shows now the EPG information, but no video and no sound :-(.

What happens with this entry (adding the TID of the vdr-generated entry):

arte;ARD:191500:I999B7C23D12M16T8G8Y0:T:27500:201:202=deu,203=fra:204:0:2:8468:257:0

Thanks that brings EPG data to already present channels entry. Neither NID nor TID are shown while editing those entries, so I could not see a difference. Looking at NID I guess it plays it's role too. From epg.data:

C T-8468-257-2 arte

The elements of the channel identifier are "Source-NID-TID-SID". If you can't edit them in the OSD, stop your vdr and edit the channels.conf with an editor. The last four digits of the entry are "SID:NID:TID:RID". -> http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Channels.conf

Thanks, but VDR is semi prepared for the fix. In file menu.c (line ~248) NID, TID and RID menuitems are commented out ;-) .

So now I can delete the new entry first and set the TID of existing entry :-) to the correct value.
