Ahhh yeah - all czap does is tune to a signal.. it doesn't tell the CAM to 
decrypt or anything.

There is now a unified zap program called... er "zap" in dvb-apps, which 
unifies all the *zap programs, and adds CAM support. I'm just about to start 
testing it thoroughly, so it may not work correctly. 

If you want to give it a try though, tell me of any problems.
