"bps" text should be added by the user.
e.g. will display 2.434M or 33.000k or 3323
The refresh rate is defined in Seconds
e.g. {TsBitrate:2} will define that the bitrate be updated at 2 second intervals.
Note the Bitrates will adjust the size of the text with a proportioned font, so should be separately
defined and right aligned to prevent this if desired.

Prints the Service ID, in decimal.
{SvcBitrate: < refresh rate in Secs>}
Shows the current Service bitrate at a defined interval.

{SvcComponents}
Prints a Service Components string.

Prints the Major/Minor channel numbers (ATSC only!)
General example.
{NetworkName}({TsId}):{TsBitrate:2}bps {SvcName}({SvcId}) Ch {SvcChans}:{SvcBitrate:2}bps

4.7 Backup and Restore
A backup of the complete configuration can be saved locally using the ‘Backup to File’ configuration
