In order to access the Sky channels VDR needs to know the channel number
under which each channel is stored in the Sky Digibox. These numbers are
-used as 'frequency' parameters in the channels.conf definitions of the Sky
-channels (see the file 'channels.conf.sky'). Since these numbers are always
-less than 1000, they can be easily distinguished from normal satellite
-transponder frequencies. The VPID is 160 and the APID is 80 for all Sky
-channels. These are just fake PIDs, since the Kfir card always uses these
-fixed PIDs. The 'Ca' parameter of the Sky channels is set to 301, which
-is defined as "Videoguard, Sky Digital" in VDR's 'ca.conf' file. Again, please
-note that VDR doesn't do any decrypting here, this is just to mark these
-channels as "conditionally accessible" and have a way of setting the CICAM
-value for the Kfir device in VDR's Setup menu.

The Perl script getskyepg.pl extracts the EPG data from these pages

-the channels.conf definitions of the Sky channels. You can keep your
