Well, that applies to your personal setup.
On my machine I also have two FF and one budget card, but the FF cards
are the first and the third one - so your suggestion wouldn't work here.

Emil wrote in his posting, that cards with CA are used last, but I'm
afraid this only applied to older versions of VDR, where the "cacaps"
was used to assign devices to CA modes. I guess I need to look into
cDvbDevice::ProvidesCa() to make this work as before.
