  • Terrestrial broadcasters may each use different CA providers to perform access control on channels within their individual broadcast. Typically, a viewer may receive several, e.g., six or more, terrestrial channels. If each broadcaster uses a different CA vendor, then the number of CA slots to support these CA modules or devices may be large. Also, in the U.S., there are currently three Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) systems, DirecTV, Echostar and PrimeStar. Each uses a different conditional access provider. DBS functionality is being built into TVs which will also receive signals terrestrially. TV and set tops are also being built to descramble cable signals. Consequently, a television or an integrated set-top box may be required to support several CA devices, cards, or modules at the same time. This may result in complexity in hardware for the host or set-top box. Furthermore, a viewer may have to switch CA modules manually causing inconvenience.
