My best guess as to the processes in the STB would be:

Input -> Decryption & validation -> Channel Selection -> Digital to Analogue Conversion -> Output
I doubt this is possible. The channels are bundled in Muxes and I guess the process would be more like:

Input -> Mux Selection -> Channel De-Mux -> Decryption -> Digital to Analogue -> Output

However, I would assume that the STB uses a single integrated chip that does all of the above from digital input to analogue output rather than discrete chips for each stage.
