+* channels.conf
+
+ This file contains the channel setup.
+ It consists of two types of lines: "group delimiters" and "channel
+ definitions".
+
+ A "group delimiter" is a line starting with a ':' as the very first
+ character, followed by arbitrary text.
+ Example: ":First group"
+
+ A "channel definition" is a line with channel data, where the fields
+ are separated by ':' characters:
+ Example: "RTL:12188:h:1:27500:163:104:0:12003"
+
+ The fields in a channel definition have the following meaning (from left
+ to right):
+
+ - Name: the channel's name (if the name originally contains a ':' character
+ it has to be replaced by '|')
+ - Frequency in MHz (as an integer)
+ - Polarization (one of 'h', 'H', 'v', 'V')
+ - Diseqc number
+ - Symbol rate
+ - Video PID
+ - Audio PID
+ - Conditional Access (0 = Free To Air, 1 = can be decrypted by the first
+ DVB card, 2 = can be decrypted by the second DVB card)
+ - Program Number
