Well, if vdr would support multiple channel lists, you could name a list 
as "6". Then the main channel would be the first channel on the list 
"6.1" and subchannels from 2 to 999.

The only problem would be switching between channel lists. You could 
assign a special shortcut key ('#') for these lists and direct zapping 
to channel list "6" would simply be pressing keys '#' + '6'. It would go 
to the main channel 1 and only an additional '2' would be required to 
enter directly to a subchannel 2 ("6.2" -> '#' + '6' + '2'). You only 
have to make sure that the channel list "6" is the sixth entry.
