That's OK, although I actually prefer to add the name of the channel
inside [], like:
	isdb-t/br-df-Brasilia

The advantage of putting the names inside brackets is that the scan
tool could tell what channel is being probed by its name. Not sure
if I actually implemented it like that on dvbv5-scan, but, at least
on dvbv5-zap, the channel name could be used if one would like to
adjust an antenna and put the tool in monitor mode.

For example, if the channel file, named as "bar_channel_file" is:

  [foo_channel]
	DELIVERY_SYSTEM = ATSC
	FREQUENCY = 515000000
	MODULATION = VSB/8
	INVERSION = AUTO

One could use:
	$ dvbv5-zap -Idvbv5 -c atsc-test-ca foo_channel -m
	using demux '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
	reading channels from file 'bar_channel_file'
	ERROR    command INVERSION (6) not found during store
	tuning to 515000000 Hz
	       (0x00) Signal= 32.86% C/N= 0.18% UCB= 115 postBER= 255
	       (0x00) Signal= 32.86% C/N= 0.18% UCB= 120 postBER= 255
	...

In order to adjust the antenna to make it lock and to obtain a better
signal level, improve Carrier S/N and reduce error counts.

Regards,
Mauro
