what's about "index-numbers". I mean not the number of the program,
like "001 = ARD". Is it possible to create a number by program, which
is stored in the channels.conf and the "personal channel setup".
Of course this number must be the only one number in the master channels.conf
I use this "index-numbers"-method in my private written video-archive.
On every recording my programm search the index-number and then look in 
another file for the description.  My experience is, that one 
(recording)-file must be a chief/master of the other (descreption)-file.
Every handling in the description-file is starting by searching the 
master-file.
 
(Btw. the video-archive was programmed in DOS, not Linux)
