When I implemented the "unique chanel ID" stuff it truned out that there
are apparently channels that have te same SID, NID and TID, but use different
APIDs. At that time somebody listed such channels and they differed by an
additional "radio" ID (hope memory serves me correctly). That's why I added
this additional RID in preparation for this. It can also be used for channels
that are used in different contexts, like Formula 1 and Bundesliga (I know,
with your autopid patch this may probably be different, but that's the way
it currently is in VDR - automatic PID setting will be implemented in 1.3.x).

BTW: could you please leave out this "noise" when posting to this list?
