[QUOTE="leecovuk, post: 97627, member: 190240"] ok; It sounds like you're talking about the activity of loading software onto the cam in order to view channels which I haven't offically subscribed to. Is that what you mean? Presumably involving setting PIDs etc in the reciver? What I'm referring to and asking about, is the official principle of buying a cam and then a subscription card, or buying a cam+subscription card deal. Although this is out of my reach financially at the moment, do these cams need loading with anything? Or do they work by just inserting it into the CI slot with any associated subscription card?
