+- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' (thanks to Andy Carter).
+- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Achim Lange).
+- First step towards a "unique channel ID". The channel ID is a human readable
+ string, made up from several parameters of the channel's definition in the file
+ 'channels.conf' (see man vdr(5) for details).
+ In order for the "unique channel ID" to work, all channel definitions now must
+ be unique with respect to the combination of their Source, Frequency and SID
+ parameters. You may have to fix your 'channels.conf' manually if there are error
+ messages in the log file when loading it. BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR
+ 'channels.conf' AND 'timers.conf' FILE BEFORE SWITCHING TO THIS VERSION, AND CHECK
+ VERY CAREFULLY WHETHER YOUR TIMERS ARE STILL SET TO THE RIGHT CHANNELS!
+ When reading an existing 'timers.conf', the channels will be identified as before
+ by their numbers. As soon as this file is written back, the channel numbers will
+ be replaced by the channel IDs. After that it is possible to manually edit the
+ 'channels.conf' file and rearrange the channels without breaking the timers.
+ Note that you can still define new timers manually by using the channel number.
+ VDR will correctly identify the 'channel' parameter in a timer definition and
+ use it as a channel number or a channel ID, respectively. Also, the SVDRP commands
+ that return timer definitions will list them with channel numbers in order to
+ stay compatible with existing applications.
+ The channel ID is also used in the 'epg.data' file to allow EPG information from
+ different sources to be stored, which would previously have been mixed up in case
+ they were using the same 'service ID'. Note that the contents of an existing
+ 'epg.data' file from a previous version will be silently ignored, since it doesn't
+ contain the new channel IDs. When inserting EPG data into VDR via SVDRP you now also
+ need to use the channel IDs.
+ Currently the EPG data received from the DVB data stream only uses the 'Source'
+ and 'Service ID' part of the channel ID. This makes it work for channels with
+ the same service IDs on different sources (like satellites, cable or terrestrial).
+ However, it doesn't work yet if the service IDs are not unique within a specific
+ source. This will be fixed later.
+- Added missing SID parameters to 'channels.conf'. Some channels have been removed
+ since they are apparently no longer broadcasted.
+- Removed dropping EPG events from "other" streams that have a duration of 86400
+ seconds or more (was introduced in version 1.1.10). This has become obsolete by
+ the modification in version 1.1.13, which fixed fetching the current/next information
+ to handle cases where the duration of an event is set wrongly and would last beyond
+ the start time of the next event. Besides, the change in 1.1.10 broke handling EPG
+ data for NVOD channels.
