I had a look at the SVDRP interface. Apart from the fact that in 1.0.4 the
DELC command isn't implemented yet (dunno for 1.1.x), everything is there.
So the core functionality for allowing / disallowing some channels could be
handled outside of vdr without any major change. 

Not so for the authentication, though. As long as we have LIRC (1.0.4
again) this could also be handled outside, but not for 1.1.x AFAIK.
