This might have some unwanted negative effects on certain situations. 
I'll need to think about it.

You'll need to patch VDR for this: comment the "Channel->SetCaIds()" 
line at the end of pat.c. This affects all channels, so you might want 
to still keep the CA updates for normal channels: "if 
(!Channel->IsPlugin()) Channel->SetCaIds()". Remember to clear out the 
CA field in channels.conf after the change.
