Not sure if in Euroland, you're aware of how US digital is working and whether it's possible to support the US/ATSC channel number system.
Essentially what's happening is a channel will appear on a frequency, then each sub channel is appending to the frequency number with either a . or a -. So, my ABC local channel is on 17. The main channel has a sid of 1, so the channel number is 17.1 or 17-1. They also have a network called MyNetwork, which has a sid of 2, so comes in as 17-2.
I had requested support for this some time ago but unfortunately that basically ended with `don't hold my breath`. It would be great if someone managed to implement this at least as a patch, even if it never made it into stock VDR. It's a huge disadvantage that there isn't really any (well, hardly any) North American coders contributing to VDR. Sorry my reply doesn't bring better news.
