[QUOTE="dranreb69, post: 1102345, member: 328047"] No. I just put the CAM into the TV slot to find out what would happen. Going to the settings on the television, the CI tab was able to detect the card and read the expiry date and more besides. However, I did not connect the satellite cables to the television. I do not want to mess about too much with my installation. I was able to change the 7102 HD STB for the 5402 one quite easily. I could access the TV's CI slot without moving the TV from its position. To connect cables, I would have to move furniture in order to access the back in comfort. There are a few people on e-bay with an on-line shop that sells Tivusat packages using different STBs. Prices start at £150 rising to about £220 and include the STB, CAM and gold card. My "concern" is to buy a quality STB and not just buy one for a "cheap" price. I had a long life out of my first Viaccess STB. I only changed it to receive HD channels on British TV. The replacement Technomate 7102 lasted over seven years before it became intermittently too noisy. The 5402 is an excellent box but it does not have the technology which I now know that I need. I need to find out as much as possible about the STBs on the Tivusat approved list. They ned to have enough storage capacity for me to retain my channels for UK television plus a few French and Spanish ones. A capacity of 5,000 may be required in order to pick up all the channels of a particular satellite before I delete the ones that are of no interest - i.e. all the languages that I do not understand [/QUOTE]
