I see... I actually noticed cDeviceHook but couldn't figure out if it could be used or not as there was no reference anywhere for it.
This patch could be very nicely implemented fully in a plugin. I'll try that...

Klaus added the ability to limit satellites to certain dvb card in
VDR-1.7.13. However, a lot of users have the need to do device
limiting at the transponder level, which VDR still can't do (and
likely will never do I think, unfortunately). But, Klaus also added
device hooks in VDR-1.7.13 as well:
- Implemented cDeviceHook to allow plugins more control over which device can
provide which transponder (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
This means that a plugin can be written that DOES provide device
limiting at the transponder level! Rnissl, as a test for the device
hook patch, threw together a quick skeleton plugin using hardcoded
values and it worked great. To finish the plugin, it would just need
support for a conf file where you define which
transponder:polarity:satellite & devices you want to limit them to. I
assume this file would be read into a table stored in memory, and then
referenced during a channel change for live tv or recording.
If Rnissl see's this, maybe he'll elaborate further.
Cheers,
