The CA field can only be used for this or CA, not both.

I believe the best way to handle this situation is by allowing the user control over what devices may be used to tune what channels. VDR can't be smart enough to figure it out due to incorrect & bad design in v4l. Another strong reason to allow this to be configured at the user-level is what if the the user has 2 devices...both able to tune a channel but the signal is weak. Tuner 1 can tune it fine but tuner 2 has problems because of the weak signal. VDR is simply going to ask a free tuner 'can you tune this?', whereas the best scenario would be for the user to say 'use tuner 1 for this channel'.
I can think of two ways to better deal with this; adding a new field in channels.conf,
Doesn't the CA field in channels.conf already allow this?
Conditional access A hexadecimal integer defining how this channel can be accessed:
0000 Free To Air 0001...000F explicitly requires the device with the given numberI don't know if it works if you specify more than one device, but it certainly works to specify only one device.
