I believe I can.

Unfortunately, the channel settings from dxandy are a bit
out of date. They correspond to the vdr 0.6 format.
I believe that the current VDR still recognizes them,
but epg2timers does not.

It is in your own best interest to use the current format,
because it will allow you to view teletext.

Maybe somebody can convince dxandy to update to the
current format documented in the VDR docs.

An easy way to convert the old format to the new format
(without adding teletext PIDs, of course) should be
to edit something in one of the channels using VDRs OSD.
I believe VDR writes back the channels.conf after
every change you do via the OSD.
I also believe VDR will always write it in the current
format, even if it was read in the old format.
(Klaus, is that correct?).

Hope that helped,

Carsten.
