Well,
I am new to this whole satellite thing and I am looking to get into it.
From what I understand a CAM is a device that acts like a decoder and is connected to satellite equipment via a CI (Common Interface or PCMCIA) slot. Anyways, I hear people talking about how such and such CAM with such and such firmware can open such and such channels, isn’t this illegal, decoding stations with out a smartcard? I am looking for a legal solution and I want a subscription via my smart card. Anyways, my real question is in regards to the “Matrix” series of CAMs. I am looking to decode some nagravision channels and I was wondering what the “selectable box key” is? What is it for? Anyways, I want a cam that is not illegal and reads decoding and subscription information off my smart card, not one that does it all in the cam. As there such thing as a legal CAM that doesn’t decode channels with out the appropriate smartcard and subscription?
Signed,

P.S. I am looking for a cam that will work with dish network and my Dish network smartcard in my new receiver. I am looking to just change receivers, how do I do this (take the smart card out of my old one and place it in my new)? Also note that my new receiver does not have any built in CAMs; it just has two CI slots.
