For example, those of us who use DVB-S to receive BBC from Astra 2 find our channels.conf totally cluttered with the Sky Channels which are encrypted using NDS Videocrypt for which there is absolutely no means of (legitimate) decryption without a Sky Digibox. I would like an option in setup.conf AddNewChannels=OnlyFTA. With regard to the perennial problem of garbage landing in channels.conf, how about reworking the "add channels" functions so that instead of landing directly in channels.conf new channels could first be sent to "candidates.conf", from which the user could manually select which channels to add permanently to channels.conf. A message could be displayed whenever VDR starts to the effect that "X new channels available - press OK to edit". Are these options that Klaus would consider adding? Iwan Davies
