My System: NONE YET | Hi, So the 'CAM' is the satellite card which fits into the recievers 'CI' slot. I know you have to buy Cams to decode certain channels, but is it legal? And to watch FTA channels, do I need a special TV license etc. I'm sure there are Cams that give ilegal access to channels which can be traced by TV Licence authorities, broadcasters etc. Regards Alien1x | ||

My System: Solar System, currently on planet earth. |
Using a dragon or matrix CAM to open channels without the use of a valid card can be considered illegal by some dudes
that's just impossible | ||||||
