Yes, this is a problem unless you rearrange the channels.conf
with VDR's OSD.

Currently, VDR simply puts the line numer of the channels.conf
file into the timer entry.

I have discussed this problem a long time ago with Klaus.
I believe the summary was, that it would be much smarter
to use the PNR instead of the line number of the channels.conf
file. However, back then, not every channels.conf entry had a 
PNR, so the solution got postponed and then forgotten.  :-)

I believe it's still a good idea and maybe now is a good
time to implement it. 


However, there are many good ideas and there is only one Klaus.
Does anybody else volunteer to implement this (provided that
everyone, especially Klaus, thinks it's still a good idea)?


Carsten.
