i would like to implement an parameter to disable the epg scan for

What would that be necessary for?


To be able using other epg sources with other event ids as from the 
broadcaster. Today i cannot add 14 days of external epg without patching.



The channels.conf file shall contain only data that can be gathered from
the transponder.


You write "shall", not "must" ;)

Generally, however, there are a lot of similar needs to influence how
VDR does its several automatic scans. Maybe it's time for a generic
plugin interface that allows to filter incoming EPG data, channel scan
data, transponder data and so on,  that allows to do some modifications
on-the-fly. This would also allow to fix broken transponders by use of a
plugin instead of adding workarounds to VDR.


I like big solutions which will never be realized. VDR is *full* of 
them! Such as "sortable menus" realized as MAINMENUHOOKS-patch, but 
considered as evildoing, such as the NOEPG-patch, such as... , such as... ;)

Why would you have to patch VDR for that?
External event's by default have a "table id" if 0, which means
they will never be overwritten by data from the transponder.

You will get duplicate EPG entries if the time doesn't match
