[vdr] how to enter a "manual PIDs" channel

[Jeremy Hall <jhall@maoz.com>]

Hello,

I have a channel that has no NID, TSID, or PNR because it is simply 
transmitted on an SCPC carrier that transmits a video pid, an audio pid, 
and sometimes a data pid which is not useful unless you know what it is 
for.  This channel has no service id, so vdr won't let that channel exist 
with pnr 0, nid 0, and tsid 0, however I have a locally-useful number in 
the rid, but Klaus says this is a bad idea and he is considering to 
deprecate its use.  Should I put a locally-useful unique number in the pnr 
field when that is not known? That seems to be difficult to convince me 
that it is the correct solution.  What is the recommended information when 
the information is not known or does not exist?
