Ok, you have a point there. But then again the same problem exists if
the second card contains the CAM and is currently recording a channel
that is not encrypted and might as well be recorded by the primary card.
In that case you also couldn't view an encrypted channel.

I guess what we need is a prompt that, in case the channel the user wants
to view can only be provided by shifting a recording to a different DVB device,
asks the user whether he wants to do so. However, with the ability of multiple
recordings per DVB card, determining whether such a shift is at all possible,
and doing only the minimum number of shifts, may be a combinatorical problem...
