Will a digitalb card work in an x-cam? And is there anymore English premier league football on Digitalb cards that one can buy on the net?

Hi surfer

I might be wrong, but I believe that the DigitALB cards require a genuine Conax 4.0e CAM or a very good emulator. Not sure that includes the X-CAM

I also believe that FAPL matches are finished on the DigitALB card, as they have been shifted to a Premium pack.

Prices for those cards have now gone through the roof.

Anyone else able to conform or deny my waffle?

Does it mean than the new DigitALB cards that include the premium channels 1 to 5 show the English premier football?

Hi surfer,
the older DigitAlb cards used to show all channels, including all football games, for a very reasonable price, but suddenly they changed their policy, and wanted to charge a lot extra for the football, upsetting a lot of dealers who had sold these cards in good faith.
DigitAlb are currently allowing people who bought these cards to view the Premiership games but the channel is scrambled before the game and immediately after.
They have also had problems with unscrambling these games, on these cards, meaning part of the game has been missed, and in some cases the whole game, I'm not sure if they've sorted this yet.
Newer cards do not include the football, and if you want to view them it will cost a great deal more.
Hopefully some agreement can be reached for next season and the prices re-evaluated.
Best wishes
Mickha
