What would that be necessary for?
My previous platform had selectable EPG scans. When I first got into touch with VDR, I asked myself, how I was supposed to restrict searchtimers to interesting channels.
In its default behaviour VDR will add transponders and channels to the channels.conf, as a result these will be searched and probably result in a match and a timer entry, even for uninteresting or undecodable channels.
There are some workarounds for that, which to my taste are not too user friendly:
a) restrict channels.conf to the interesting ones and have VDR not ass transponders and channels [thats what I do].
b) specify a channel range for each of your new search timers (you have to template that to not forget about it).
c) there seems to be a NOEPG patch around to accomplish that.
d) there is a plugin NOEPGMENU around.
I consider the selection of Scan on/off a useful feature.
