Why not simply turn off updating channels in VDR's setup? ;-)
I thought I did with UpdateChannels=0. I'm sure that's what it said in
the file after I set "Update channels" to "Off" in the menu, and 0
usually means off...
Of course, finding out what actually causes the trouble would be
a good idea.
If you align the two channel definitions...

...you can see that the _only_ difference is that the first one has an
additional
I999, which means "INVERSION_AUTO", which also happens to be the default.
And since the second definition doesn't contain I999, the default will
just be the same, so I can't really see why these two lines would behave
any different... (the sequence of the B8 parameters doesn't matter).
I think it also creates some duplicate channels. And sometimes the
frequency is in Hz, sometimes in KHz, which another person suggested
might be why it's creating duplicates. Should I try using Hz throughout?
I'll probably have to patch scan for that.
