I'm seeing this too. My best guess is that these channels dont get 
announced, so no name is availabe for them - just a PID. You have to 
sort them out manually.

BTW:
I've written a perl script that drives this one step further: The script 
adds a [yyyymmdd] header to the boquet part of vdr 1.3.x channel names, 
but only if none is present. This gives a good hint when the channel was 
last seen, and if you sort the VDR channel list by boquet (key 0), all 
channels get ordered by last seen date.
If anyone's interested, I can publish the script.

Cheers,

Udo
