I repeat this message, as nobody gave any comments about this matter previously. Problem still exists in 1.5.18. And in my opinion it's fault in VDR handling CA-field. Biggest problem is still limiting access to scrambled channels, as antenna 2 (card #3) receives only scrambled channels.
In my opinion CA-field is not anyway proper way to control devices access to channels.
