On the VDR side you did the right thing. But if you use the same
IR-table 301 for all 6 devices, you send the same IR-code on SAT1-MENU,
SAT2-MENU, SAT3-MENU, ... This way pressing MENU on e.g. SAT2 opens MENU
on all instances.

So you first have to find 6 unique IR-tables (which means they mustn't
share IR-codes) based on RC5-protocol.

Did you build your own keymap for the nexus or did you use e.g.
hauppauge.rc5?

Then you must build a keymap which maps IR-codes to input-device
commands (i don't know if there are enough commands for six sets of
IR-comamnds).

Activate av7110_ir_debug to see what IR-commands are sent by your
remote.
