Hi Patrick,

Conditional Access Module - It is basically a doodah that decrypts the
channel using the card.

I can't remember the type of encryption that topuptv are using, but you
need
to get a specific CAM to work with their card. Price £80 or less, was a
month or 2 ago I checked it out.

Cheers, Des.
