Yes, the channels.conf file doesn't contain the information. Scanning 
all known transponders should fix it.

Without original network id and transport stream id we handle the 
channel as generic mpeg channel. I don't know of any non-DVB audio only 
channels and I'm not sure if the channel scanner will take them up if 
you use real scanning.
You should populate your networkid and transportid for DVB. Otherwise 
DVB-EIT will also not work.
