Uwe did send me that new file, but the lines were unnecessarily shuffeled,
so I asked him to provide a file with a smaller 'diff' against the one from VDR 1.0.2.

You can either create separate sections in channels.conf.cable for channels
that are only available in certain areas (like currently done in the section
':Digit. Bouquet"Kabel Berlin"'), or you can maintain completely separate
files for each area, like channels.conf.cable.Berlin, channels.conf.cable.Hamburg
or so. I'll take whatever I get and add it to the next VDR release. In the meantime
I'll try to keep the files up-to-date at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/Channels.

That's a good idea.
Since I can't actually test channel files for cable, I'll have to take them
as they are sent to me. Please make your changes based on the latest file
version from ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/Channels, and try to keep the
differences as small as possible. Also, always send _complete_ files, so I can
simply replace them in the VDR distribution.

One day VDR will surely have channel scanning capabilities. Until then I guess
we can live with the channels.conf* files being maintained manually...
