	[Hakenes Rolf]  The Transponder ID given in that Transponder List
has no meaning for the '.dvrc'-File. It is just an artificial index for
ASTRA transponders (beginning with 0 for the first (analog) transponder).
The ID needed for the '.dvbrc' is the so called TransportStreamID, which can
be derived from the DVB-SI data broadcasted on each transponder. It is in no
way sequential, but only a tag for a special transponder on a special
satellite. But as far as I know (I'm not a user of VDR) this ID is not
really needed to correctly tune a channel. For this you only need Frequency,
Polarisation, SymbolRate, ServicePID, AudioPID and VideoPID. To get this,
you can either look into the PID-tables at www.lyngsat.com, or use a
scanning program (which is not really on the market now for linux, AFAIK,
but there are some for Windoze).

	Regards,
