[QUOTE="guiri, post: 57859, member: 179086"] A CAM performs the job of de-encryption through something called CAS (conditional access system). CAMs like Matrix Reloaded provide a number of CAS eg. Nagravision, Seca, Conax. In addition, they also provide emulation (sometimes called EMU) of the smart card as well - this is the bit you are not interested in. With something like an original Conax card, you can take it out of one CAM, and put it in another CAM which supports the Conax CAS, and you are away. Nagravision is a different matter entirely though. The smart card is locked to the CAM with the boxkey (the boxkey is part of the CAM firmware and is unique to that CAM). Therefore the card will only work with that CAM. Matrix Reloaded provides selectable box key, so it can be made to work with smart cards which are expecting a particular box key. This is ok, but you need to know the box key in the first place - and it is hidden. If you have a legitimate dish network subscription, can you ask for a CAM and card together from the supplier - they will be locked to each other? The other option is to extract the boxkey from your existing dish network receiver or smart card, but both these are specialist jobs. You could then put the extracted boxkey in a Matrix, as you point out. [/QUOTE]
