Udo (and others), I found that it also saves (overwrites) setup.conf upon shutdown. Well, I guess the idea is to save the user's configuration in case VDR is used interactively (with a full-featured card and OSD menus). Wouldn't it make sense to make VDRs behaviour a bit more consistent here and also save any unsaved changes to channels.conf upon shutdown? By the way: Does VDR listen to any signals, for example SIGHUP to re-read the config?
