I'd like to see that happen. As you might have guessed from looking
at xawtv's config file format I actually like the samba-like style,
i.e. like this ...
[station id]
frequency = ...
audio_pid = 23
video_pid = 42
...
... because it is easy to read (for humans, without counting colons ;)
and also easy to parse.
But I don't care that much how that format actually looks, it should
just be the same for everyone. Sticking with the current vdr format
(which seems to be the de-facto standard right now) would be fine too.

That should be fixed. The shared channels.conf should just have the
tuning information and nothing else.
