I'm seeing two different things talked about here. One is not to scan EPG data on some channels and that does seem like something that belongs in the channels.conf. I use the web vdradmin and epg search for shows to record can be limited to a range of channels but they must be grouped together

I don't see the advantage of implementing this directly into the VDR. The parameter must be maintained by the user, so it should be an additional configuration file which is independend from the channels.conf, as this file is and should only used for channel information. NOEPG and NOEPGMENU do this

Hi, i would like to implement an parameter to disable the epg scan for (some) channels. I think an parameter in the channels.conf-file would be the best place. So, E0 means dont scan, E1 or absence of the E-parameter means scan the channel. I only start investing my time if it has an chance
