 ARD swaps some transponders 2nd June.
 With VDR that seems to be a great pain, or?

It doesn't have to, if they move their NID-TID-SID to the new 
transponders. VDR will then follow with the existing channel to the new 
transponder. Maybe they do that at the end of the simulcast phase.

 OK, Channel lists can be sorted by transponder owners.
 That way old and new ARD channels are nearby.
 But in that mode move does not work anymore...

It does work, and I've used it a lot.
If you want to move channel 1200 where channel 5 was, just mark channel 
1200 and drop it at channel 5. This works anyway, no matter whether both 
are right next to each other or 1195 channels apart.

What I do is: Go to ARD, sort by provider (also ARD), check whether some 
ARD channel has a 4-digit number, mark it, and drop it on a similar 
channel. The 4-digit channel then takes the place of the similar 
channel, moving all after that one down. The actual placement may be 
corrected later while sorting by number again.

 A further reason to make the single LNB patch 
 part of VDR...

(Assuming you meant lnbsharing patch:) The SourceCaps patch users 
probably won't agree. As long as these two patches are not merged into 
one concept, a permanent integration doesn't make much sense.

Cheers,

Udo

Hi!

 One feature that I have been missing for years in that area is:
 VDR should not add a channel to a list before it can actually
 receive at least audio from it. My new channels list is
 cluttered with a majority of channels that are not useful to me.
 
 Some are useless because they require a CAM that I do not have.
 Some are useless because they broadcast in a language that I
 do not understand.
 Some are useless because they show still pictures of scantily clad
 females and command me to call 900 numbers

For this purpose, I have the decruft plugin (You can have some kind of a
Spam list with regular expressions for channes you don't want) and the
autosort plugin (Can sort the channels based on custom rules).

Sadly, the autosort plugin is not maintained for some time now, and
won't longer work with VDR 1.6.0.
