the driver package tries some kind of hardware detection on install to
just load modules for present cards. To probe again after inserting
another card, just do:

/etc/init.d/vdr stop
modprobe -r dvb
dpkg-reconfigure linuxtv-dvb-modules-2.4.24-ctvdr-2

debconf should ask the same questions you've answered while installing
for the first time.
