Simple, the company's want CI+ to prevent or stop "card sharing". That is the main reason. However as IPTV is becoming more and more popular, where they use software encryption, CI+ and all the problems with smartcards are gone. At least for the broadcasters. For us users, not so good, unless...

Don't know about the multichannel decryption, but as for getting your hands on TBS cards, the easy way is buying from the UK. And then getting the hardware from the UK ebay site http://www.ebay.co.uk/
