Okay, something is wrong here.

The card's firmware seems to be misbehaving. Which firmware did you use?
Consulting the linuxtv Wiki [2] I found out that the format of the file had changed, and noted that the new vdr had changed my original channels file to include the bouquet information for YLE. I did a few changes to my converter to do likewise [3], but things did not really improve. I still have just the YLE channels and nothing else.
The old config should work just fine, VDR can convert it to the new format on-the-fly.
I'm pretty much out of ideas. What can cause this, and what can I do? Does anyone have a ready working channels.conf for DVB-C in Helsinki?
HTV cable network provides this service to VDR users: http://dvb.swelcom.fi/vdrconf.php

- http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Syntax_of_channels.conf
- Though, where am I supposed to find a proper provider name, which as far as I know technically is NOT the same thing as a bouquet name, as several providers can share one bouquet?
There is no need to find a bouquet (= provider) name, that's VDR's job.
