The 'Ca' parameter is only necessary when recording, because then VDR has to
select the card that can actually decrypt that channel. It is also used
when your CAM is not attached to your "Primary Interface" (i.e. the one
you use to actually watch the programme). VDR then transfers the data
from the card that can decrypt the channel to the card that shall display
it. Of course, if you have only one card, that parameter is meaningless.
I guess I should just make VDR ignore it in that case...
