"My" vdr does not write the channel list it has in memory to disk, neither
every 10 minutes nor on a restart.

Where can I get the valid (O)NID and the TID for a channel?

I tried replacing the rear ":0:0:0" with ":8468:13058:0" for all
lines/channels. This did not have not the expected effect, but two others:
1. For the changed channels EPG does not work any more. 2. vdr (with
UpdateChannels = 5 in setup.conf) found all the changed channels as new.
With the new channels EPG works, but switching to them does not show a
picture.

Unfortunately mine does not. So I cannot show the newly created lines for
the channels vdr found itself as mentioned above.


Thanks & best wishes
