Well, that doesn't seem good at all ... the idea is just to find 
anything that can control the CI module ... if I can just find a 
software that can tell whether the CI module is inserted or not, and 
descramble the program ... then I don't care using vdr, reading on 
/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 will be fine as it's MPEG2 TS and it's what I 
want ...
