AFAIK, the available CAMs only decrypt a pair of PIDs (one Video & Audio 
streams); some CAMs versions have had troubles when a program have two 
audio streams! :-(.

It's common that the descramblers used in the CAMs are cappable of 
simultaneus decrypt of many PIDs (ie, 16 or more) using different 
Control Words (as need for several programs), but the firmware in
the CAM and the "receiver" restrict this capabilities :-(.
