Thanks a lot!

I don't like that. I want the interpretaton of the values
in channels.conf to be unambiguous.

szap was designed to be compatible to channel lists in VDR 0.7x format
which you can be downloaded from http://www.dxandy.de/cgi-bin/dvbchan.pl
(seen comment in szap.c). The "vdr" output format should be compatible
with current VDR versions.

I took part of your patch and comitted it with
minor modifications. DVB-T is untested, I hope I didn't
break it.
