However, broadcasting channels from multiple service providers call for multiple CAMs and Smart cards. Receivers which have only the CAMs and smartcards provided by the one service provider can show several broadcasting channels of the provider.
Please refer to manuals provided by service providers for details because the CAM and smartcards are featured with unique menus, apart from menus given by the receiver.
