What? It definitely is a bug, since it restricts something that should not be 
restricted in Belgium. I am talking about channels you are allowed to use in 
Belgium, which get disabled by the driver. How can this not be a bug?
If I call crda for the BE domain, I expect to get _all_ channels that are 
allowed in Belgium, not just some.
