Maybe you should complain to the broadcaster about this.

Afaik this is intentional to limit the scope of viewers to users of their "Freesat" receivers. So this problem also exist for other (non-freesat) receivers out there that do not allow manual vpid settings. While vdr does allow setting the vpid (while not auto-updating channel data) in this case recording seams to fail anyway while live view is working.
I don't know about the recording problem, but I have dealt with this type of issues (auto-updating overwriting channels.conf) by having two copies of the channel: one with rid=0 and one with rid=1. When vdr updates the channel, it only updates the one with rid=0, leaving the other along. I then put the one with rid=1 at the end of my channel list when I never try to tune to it. A bit of a hack, but it works.
I know, this is non-standard behaviour and you probably do not want to support this by adjusting vdr. On the other hand, if (with manual interaction) its possible to view the channel, shouldn't it also be possible to record it?
