For the UK certainly, all the tools and information are there to generate a 
complete channels.conf relevant to your area. See my latter stages of my Dxr3 
HOWTO (from the 'DIAGNOSTICS' section onwards) at 
http://klub.org/~gdh/vdr_dxr3_howto.txt since this is VDR generic information, 
and not Dxr3 specific.

You may also like to try the 'autopid' patch since this will obtain the 
service IDs, APIDs/VPIDs given at least one transmitter to lock on to. Klaus 
has said many times that VDR in the upcoming 1.3.x developer series will 
incorporate an automatic scan in this vein.

So, a dbase of channels.confs would be quite short-lived.. and in the 
meantime, you'll just have to work it out manually - the info is there, and 
the required mathematics are trivial :)

Cheers,
Gavin.
