Try the following script:

chconv < channels.conf.old > channels.conf.new

---------------------------  snip  --------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

%translate =
  (
    "0" => "S19.2E",
    "1" => "S13E",
  );

$index = 3;


while (<>)
{
    #name:freq:para:src:srate:vpid:apid:tpid:cond:sid
    @fields = split /:/;
    if (@fields != 10 && @fields != 13)
    {
        print;
    }
    else
    {
        if ($translate{$fields[$index]})
        {
            $fields[$index] = $translate{$fields[$index]};
        }
        if (@fields < 13)
        {
            chop $fields[9];
            $fields[10] = "0";
            $fields[11] = "0";
            $fields[12] = "0\n";
        }
        print join ':', @fields;
    }
}

When you start vdr 1.1.x for the first time with the new configuration,
you should check whether vdr complains about some lines in channels.conf.
In this case you have duplicate entries in your channels.conf.
Incrementing the last field ('radio id') will fix this.
