You can use the dtv_scan program, available in the DTV package from Rolf
Hakenes, at http://hesdvb.sourceforge.net/DTV-1.2.1.tar.gz

If you have a problem with dtv_scan, I can send you a channels.conf file for
HotBird, but you'll have to sort the channels depending on your preferences.

I can't see a huge interest to include a list in the VDR package, because
the list will be very different if you are italian,french, polish, german
... For example, the current channels.conf file contains only german
channels _ and I don't speak german !

If you need a channels.conf file for testing purposes, you can make one with
a few channels, using the parameters from www.lyngsat.com .
