I currently do exactly the same with a modified ca.conf. The mechanism 
is mostly "security by obscurity". This example shows how to do it with 
VDR 1.0.x. (hopefuly I did not forget some important step).

First, find a unique private number to put in ca.conf and give it a 
confusing name, e.g.:
<ca.conf>
101    Premiere World
102    ORF

# child protection
99     SQRTEXPLOG
</ca.conf>

Second, assign this CA-ID to all channels you want to block for your 
children, e.g.:
<channels.conf>
NICK-PARAMOUNT:12246:v:0:27500:167:108:0:99:29312
</channels.conf>
                                          ^^

Now you can only view the blocked channels when you go to the CICAM 
configuration menu and assign SQRTEXPLOG to your primary DVB.

HTH,
Andreas
