Reading the "do drivers support Nagravision CA" post suggests that
your CAM + subscription card combination needs to be registered in some way
with the broadcaster, so that the appropriate 'entitlement message'
can be sent out over the data stream to allow the card to generate
the decryption code word sequence for the streams you have subscribed to.

Depends on the broadcaster's encoding whether decryption would work
across a mux.
