I do get EPG trough streamdev but some other things are broken

It says "Imports the EPG of an other VDR. It is implemented as a 
separate thread and you can select either a quick but resource consuming 
or a slow operation mode. The later allows you to share the SVDRP 
connection with other local plugins, so you can e.g. still use the 
remoteosd plugin while syncing.

Since epgsync-0.0.3 it is possible to limit the import to a specific 
channel type (DVB-C/S/T, analog) and to lookup channels by name instead 
of ID. You could e.g. copy the EPG of DVB channels to their analog 
counterparts."

Does it synchronize channels too?
