Via cams

[Gerry55]

I am thinking getting a Via cam, what is the difference between red and black and also what is a Via allcam

there is no such thing as a Viaccess AllCAM.
There are internal differences in the red & black CAMs - don't know what they are, but it means you need different filesets for each when using hobby cards.

Thanks for the reply 2old,if you read What Sat mag and look in the back read the add by Satvision, Viaccess Allcam +Conex Allcam for sale!

don't believe everything you read. Half the time the ad copy writers don't know the correct terminology. If it really stated "conex" than that's an example of what I mean. It's "Conax".
There is no Conax AllCAM. There is no Viaccess AllCAM. There is no Mediaguard AllCAM. The reason is simple. The term "AllCAM" refers specifically to an Irdeto CAM that has been patched in such a way as to allow reception of the "Betacrypt" variant of Irdeto.
