Just tried, with different channels but those were on the channel bundle
as yours (I don't have subscription on swedish channels), channels which I
used were Animal Planet and BBC Prime.

But seems that, as you mentioned, those 'weird' CA-values in your channels
conf might have something to do with this. But don't know vdr that well,
maybe Klaus has something to say.

I changed manually my CA values to 1 from B00 (which is right for
Conax) but weren't able to change on to those channels. So I really can't
to reproduce this with your channels.conf values.

With right CA-value (B00), no matter what, I'm not able to switch channel
if I'm recording at the same time with that card.

Or change those CA-values to 0 and let vdr handle it, that should do the
trick. Or you can manually replace them with B00 which is correct value.
