Seems like it's the same as the old vdr channels.conf format. I've found
a list in the DVB drivers package which is much better because it works
with MPlayer. :-)

My new Pro-7 line is:
ProSieben:12480:v:0:27500:255:256:1:898

I didn't use scan so far as the documentation talks about DVB-T and
DVB-C and more important, I tried the list supplied with the driver with
success first. ;-)
Can you tell me how to get it to use the AC3 audio? I don't think I'll
ever need it but it could be that I'll sometime watch a film transmitted
in Dolby Digital and I have -ac hwac3 working so why not use it? Would
even save CPU power as long as I stay on ProSieben.

Bye David
