I deal with this type of problem by having two copies of the channel,
with one with rid=1. The one with rid=0 will be automatically updated
to incorrect values, while the one with rid=1 will not be updated, so it
can be tuned as needed.
Can you have 2 channels without changing anything in the code?
I had to change some functions to have this. I found that VDR deletes duplicate channels by default.
What is rid by the way?
