I recently updated from 1.7.22 to the latest VDR developer snapshot 1.7.27
My DVB-S/DVB-S2 tuners all continued to work fine, but none of my DVB-T channels were accesible anymore.
Checking the logs I noticed numerous "ERROR: invalid value for parameter 'S'" entries, whenever attempting to tune to a DVB-T channel. I presumed this was related to the changes introduced into 1.7.23 for not writing values to channels.conf that weren't valid for the given delivery system, but I couldn't find anything in the Changelog that indicated a channels.conf change was needed.
I guessed the simplest way to fix this was to use VDR's channel editor to 'edit' and save my DVB-T channels, without modifying anything, and seeing what change was introduced in channels.conf

It is trivial for me to reproduce this for all my channels. However, I presume this means that scan / w_scan etc. all need to be updated to generate the new channels.conf format for VDR 1.7.23 and newer?

I'm getting the same here. Will look into it.

Sorry, that was a premature assessment. For testing I edited one of my DVB-T channel entries and changed it from B8C34D34G4M16S0T8Y0 to B8C34D34G4M16S, which was wrong - I should have stripped the 'S' as well. After correctly changing it to B8C34D34G4M16 the error did not occur any more:
Apr 1 11:57:32 vdr2 vdr: [6861] switching to channel 21 Apr 1 11:57:52 vdr2 vdr: [6885] changing transponder data of channel 21 from 562000000:B8C34D34G4M16:T to 562000000:B8C34D34G4M16S0T8Y0:T Apr 1 11:57:53 vdr2 vdr: [6861] retuning due to modification of channel 21 Apr 1 11:57:53 vdr2 vdr: [6861] switching to channel 21
So I'm afraid I don't know why you are getting this error.
