I don't have a "true" solution, but you could try the following as
a workaround. Insert the following lines into your commands.conf

DVB old firm: rm /usr/local/DVB; ln -s /usr/local/dvbold /usr/local/DVB;
echo old firm active!

DVB new firm: rm /usr/local/DVB; ln -s /usr/local/dvbnew /usr/local/DVB;
echo new firm active!

Of course you will need to install two instances of the DVB driver.

One into /usr/local/dvbold

and one into /usr/local/dvbnew

the first one has the old firm from April 15th installed and the
second folder has the original CVS firmware. I'll admit the
solution is a bit dirty, but it should work.

After switching firms, you will need to restart VDR, but that's
already integrated into VDR ;o))

If you plan on timeshifting, you would also need to make two
instances of VDR (one normal using new firm and one with Klaus's
"remove the two lines in cDvbdvice" mod and use the old firmware)
