man vdr(5) of version the current developer version says:
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 '|'). Some tv stations provide a way of
deriving a "short name" from the channel name, which can be used in
situations where there is not much space for displaying a long
name. If a short name is available for this channel, it follows the
full name and is delimited by a comma, as in
RTL Television,RTL:...
If present, the name of the service provider or "bouquet" is
appended to the channel name, separated by a semicolon, as in
RTL Television,RTL;RTL World:...
