From 'man 5 vdr':

SYNTAX
   CHANNELS
       ...
       Source The  signal  source  of  this  channel,  as  defined  in  the   file
              sources.conf. ...

   ...
   SOURCES
       The  file  sources.conf defines the codes to be used in the Source field of
       channels in channels.conf and assigns descriptive texts to them.  Example:

       S19.2E  Astra 1

       Anything after (and including) a '#' character is comment.

       The first character of the code must be one of
       S   Satellite
       C   Cable
       T   Terrestrial
       and is followed by further data pertaining to that  particular  source.  In
       case  of  Satellite  this is the orbital position in degrees, followed by E
       for east or W for west.

It shouldn't, since the DXR3 device shouldn't return 'true' when asked
whether it provides a cable channel. It should rather start Transfer Mode
to transfer the data from the DVB-T card to the DXR3 card.

What does the log file say when you switch channels?

I really wonder how all theother people who successfully managed to receive
DVB-T channels did it...
