+This file describes the format of the new channel config file.
+
+Comments start with #
+Each section starts with one of the identifiers: LNB, DISEQC, ROTOR, ... 
+
+IDs are either the official transponder, network, etc. id if it exists 
+and is unique, otherwise it is just a consecutive number assigned by 
+the application.
+An LNB can also describe a cable TV outlet or a terrestrial antenna.
+Names (as all parameters in brackets) are optional. In this case the 
+application should use the ID as name.
+
+The application should offer selection sorted by channel number, network,
+satellite, bouquet.
