[vdr] Re: channels.conf by channel number NOT position

Is there any way to select the channel NUMBER rather than it's position in channels.conf?

For instance, I want to select channels 55 and 99, but not channels.conf descriptors 55 and 99.

While we're on the subject, can you also suppress the 'position' number in channels.conf? My OSD looks like this:

15 99 CBUT

I'd much rather just hit '99' and get CBUT. Not have to scroll between channel entries.

See "man 5 vdr": you can put delimiter lines like

:@201

in the channels.conf - in this case, the next channel will have number 201, but only if the number of the previous channel is less than 201.
