[vdr] /video/epg.data: illegal channel ID problem

[Robert Sturrock <rns@unimelb.edu.au>]

I have recently setup VDR version 1.2.2 (absolutely wonderful
software, BTW) to work with a Hauppauge Nova-T card (Australian
version).  I'm trying to populate /video/epg.data with data I've
trawled from the local online TV guide here, but everytime I start VDR
I'm seeing these messages in the logfile:

  Aug 24 23:26:52 tivo vdr[7705]: reading EPG data from /video/epg.data
  Aug 24 23:26:52 tivo vdr[7705]: reading EPG data from /video/epg.data
  Aug 24 23:26:52 tivo vdr[7705]: ERROR: illegal channel ID: T-0-177-0
  Aug 24 23:26:52 tivo vdr[7705]: ERROR: illegal channel ID: T-0-177-0

The channel-ids are the default ones that were presumably created by
VDR - I did not create them myself - so I'm confused as to why VDR
says that are illegal.

My /video/channels.conf file looks like this:

  ABC:226500:B7G16I0:T:27500:512:650:0:0:0:0:0:0
  SBS:536625:B7G8I0:T:27500:161:81:0:0:0:0:0:0
  SEVEN:177500:B7G8I0:T:27500:769:770:0:0:0:0:0:0
  NINE:191625:B7G8I0:T:27500:513:660:0:0:0:0:0:0
  TEN:219500:B7G16I0:T:27500:512:650:0:0:0:0:0:0

The original /video/epg.data file looked like this:

  C T-0-536-0 SBS
  c
  C T-0-177-0 SEVEN
  c
  C T-0-219-0 TEN
  c
  C T-0-191-0 NINE
  c
  C T-0-226-0 TWO
  c

Can anyone tell me how to obtain the correct ids?

Thanks.

Robert.
