I understood: -my cam can just decode one channel at a time. Only some expensive cams can do multiple channels. -teletext is encrypted in the Netherlands while it normaly shouldn't. I decided to give vdr-sc (softcam) a try combined with a cardreader. This seems to be the only reasonable solution to me. It should at least make it possible to use multipe encrypted channels.
