Just have a look at http://www.linux-dvb.tv/documentation/cim.html, all
modules known to [not] work are listed there.

The AlphaCrypt only works with the patched driver available at
http://www.linuxdvb.tv/driver/. But the driver only provides limited OSD
functionality, so it's not suitable for everyday use.

As far as I know all Irdeto CIMs should work, but if you want to decrypt
Premiere, you need a patched Irdeto CIM, aka Irdeto Allcam, which is not
legally available anymore. The Irdeto CIM can only decrypt Irdeto, the
Allcam can decrypt Irdeto and Betycrypt (used by Premiere).
