If you donīt have all available channels/transponders in the 
channels.conf, "svdrpsend.pl chan x" does not help. And "svdrpsend.pl 
scan" did not work on a single card system when I tested it last with 
VDR 1.3.12 - I have a dual card system so I donīt have this problem.

Any other possibilities to find new channels on a one-card-system?
