So in the end we'll have 2 files concerning the channel setup. One for 
vdr to uniquely identify the channels for the timers and to map 
epg-info. And the other is for the users favorite channels with 
eventually some other name for a specified channel to display instead of 
the broadcast station-name. Did I get this right?
