If you are recording in TS mode then use + and - to change the audio
channel. Also there's some database config you can set which will auto
select the correct stream. (sorry can't remember the setting)

is no longer used (along with dvb_channel but that's been pointed out
before).

Daft question, but do you have your initial channel to tune to set to
something appropriate e.g 28106 for "Das Erste" ?
