Well, changing this value does not work for me. If the startchan has the 
value 2 and this is the channel used for the last live TV, then changing 
the value to 1 does not work. Live TV is still channel 2 and the value in 
the database has changed back from 1 to 2.
I even stopped the backend and the frontend before I changed the values.

I tried this as well. Did not work. I even changed the channel numbers, 
so that the old channel 1 was channel 2 and the old 2 was 1. Did not work 
either. Then the startchan value switches automatically to 1.

It seems that the channel name (like MTV) is used instead of the channel 
number.

Shade and sweet water!
