First: Happy new year to everybody.
Second: I just saw this thread and thought, I should mention a rather
annoying behaviour regarding the following.

- VDR refuses to start up when there are "duplicated data" in
channels.conf.
What is the reason for this restriction? Why can't I have a program
multiple times in channels.conf? Or why not to just ignore duplicated
entries?
I use vdr 1.3.12 with CVS drivers. In the setup I allowed vdr to
add new channels. Now, at least 5 times in the last months, the
following happened: vdr added a new channel (or modified an existing
one) and the result of that obviously was a duplicate channel entry.
Nevertheless, channels.conf has been saved by vdr. And of course, the
next restart of the program failed. That's even worse as I have a
cronjob to restart vdr and reload the drivers once per day. Shouldn't
there be some kind of check for the newly created channels.conf?
Just my experiences
