My terminology knowledge is a bit limited, so I'll explain what I  
experience; if I set VDR to add new transponders, it will loose the  
signal, since it appears to want to retune to the frequencies with  
the offset applied. I guess that means that the NIT doesn't reflect  
the frequency change.

The "now" frequencies I found using w_scan. Is dvbsnoop part of linux  
dvb apps?
