 ``--dvbin-file=<filename>``
     Instructs mpv to read the channels list from ``<filename>``. The default is
     in the mpv configuration directory (usually ``~/.config/mpv``) with the
-    filename ``channels.conf.{sat,ter,cbl,atsc,isdbt}`` (based on your card
-    type) or ``channels.conf`` as a last resort.
+    filename ``channels.conf.{sat,sat1,ter,ter1,cbl,atsc,isdbt}`` (based on your
+    card type) or ``channels.conf`` as a last resort.
+    For cards supporting multiple delivery systems of the same kind, i.e.
+    DVB-T/T2 or DVB-S/S2, T2/S2 is assumed, unless the file extension
+    is ``ter1`` or ``sat1``.
     Please note that using specific file name with card type is recommended,
     since the legacy channel format is not fully standardized
     so autodetection of the delivery system may fail otherwise.
