Ok, that is for the DVB channels menu, you're right. But I forgot to
say that this file is not present on my system.

I'm sure it will do that, just like "M" does that in my configuration.
The problem is this here:

I read that file. I also read about dvb-menu.conf. Forgot to mention I
don't have it (don't know why). Sorry. I will try to find it with
google, though. My real problem is that the menu goes up, but does not
behave as it should ...
