I doubt that, because VDR won't let you delete a channel which has

I think he deleted the channels the easy way - by editing channels.conf,
not via vdr :-)
Oh, so he edited channels.conf while VDR was running?!
VDR was shut down while I was editing, of course.
That's naughty...
Come on. You don't expect me to remove about 2500 entries with the remote
control, do you? Especially when VDR is restarting in irregular intervals.
At the time channels.conf is read there is no OSD yet.
So it's either the current behaviour or dropping offending
entries and starting anyway.
How about dropping offending entries, giving a OSD/logfile (dalayed
until OSD is available) warning and _not_ write back the file on
shutdown? This way no entires are lost, the warning reapears until
the problem is fixed and (finally) VDR will still be usable with a
broken channels.conf.
