I've the idea of some kind of service scan (all transponders are scanned for channels, services, EPG, etc.) when there is no use of the VDR-box
The all-time automatic update of channels.conf is certainly not what you would want for normal operation. Only NVOD channels and linked services should IMHO be updated dynamicaly.
You got it! ;o)The problem would be the line-based sorting of channels.conf (which I'm praying to skip for a year, now). This could be solved by an additional field "channel-number" which stores the unique number of the channel beginning with "1". A new channel simply would get the next free number.
Source+Nid+Tid+Sid uniquely describe a channel, using those and map them to channel numbers should solve your problem.
