Hi all,
I'm thinking about getting a payTV subscription using DVB-C and my provider uses Conax Cas7 CAM with paired cards, so using the official CAM in a CI slot is the only option. I never used CAMs, so I have few (maybe stupid) questions, but I didn't find an answer on the web.
Pairing is done between smartcard and CAM. Even after pairing you can move card+CAM combo from system to another. CI+ CAM does work on CI slot, but depending on your operators settings the CAM might require a CI+ slot to decrypt. Requirement for CI+ slot is something that can be selected on channel basis.
I have seen CI+ slots only available on Television sets and set top boxes. Not on VDR hardware.
On my provider all HD channels and some of the SD channels are "CI+" only while most of the crypted SD channels are allowed to be decrypted with CI+CAM combo.
