Thanks to the simulcrypt, some channels can be decrypted with different CAMs
and cards.
For example, AB1 on Astra can be received with a Mediaguard CAM and a Canal
Satellite card, or with a Viaccess CAM and an ABSAT card. So you should
allow to put several configuration names separated by commas in the Ca
field.

Also, the same channel AB1 is broadcast on Astra and on HotBird. That
becomes really complex to manage ...
