Is that really required? I didn't know. It's a very good suggestion, 
because my provider (Canal Digitaal) screwed up big time a while ago and 
set a FTA flag for all their channels, so to some receivers (including 
GlobeTV on Windows and to kaffeine) they appear as FTA.

The solution was closer than I thought! I changed the channels to 
"scrambled" and it just works now! No need to change anything in 
v4l-dvb, the CI is just supported!

I'll go test all my CAMs and update the wiki, thanks!
