Yeah, but this is still a global setting, and detecting new transponders
is still useful...

I do have a problem with two channels on Hispasat 30.0W.

SKY News:11851:hC34:S30.0W:27500:4208:4209=eng:0:1800,1801,18FF:23:54:38:0
TVE INTERNACIONAL:11851:hC34:S30.0W:27500:2201:2211=esl:0:0:21:54:38:0

The above two channels' transponder is often changed to 12091 with no
reason, leading to no channel received. This have been the cause of some
lost recordings in the past.
However, given it only happens with that transponder, it may well be
again the transmitted information about transponders being erroneous.
Yet, in case that's the problem, who can one claim to?
