If the CAM doesn't respond to a QUERY, then how is VDR supposed to
know whether it can decrypt more than one channel at a time?

VDR 1.4 used the FIRST/MORE/LAST method to send multiple CaPmts.
Since some CAMs apparently don't handle this correctly, I changed
that to the simpler ADD/UPDATE method, which should be supported
by any CAM that can decrypt more than one channel.

Can you please check if there is a newer firmware for the Conax CAM
and maybe try that?
