There's a trick however: Modify your channels.conf so that all channel names start with [outdated], then start VDR and wait for a full transponder scan to finish. All existing channels will be renamed back to their proper names, and all remaining [outdated] channels can be dropped after some grace period.

My actuator plugin has menu options to mark, unmark and delete marked channels.
The idea is, you mark the channels, do a complete satellite scan, then delete the (still) marked channels.
Even if I wrote that specifically to get rid of obsolete channels, I never use it, because there are some channels that are not advertised in the nit.
As a result I now have a channel.conf with more that 7000 channels and most of the entries are rubbish.
