I have a Samsung R73 Digital TV and it has a cam slot in the side of it. Can i buy a cam to fit in it and will it give me anymore channels?

Cheers

It would probably accept a TitsUpTV cam and card, but Im pretty sure it wont work for anything else.

The Original TopUpTv card,is no longer available.

From the TopupTv website

I would like to buy the original Top Up TV service, how can I do this?
Unfortunately we are no longer selling this to new customers.

Only the new TopUpTv Anytime pvr is available

Probably just as well really.

So the answer is - the card aslot in your no doubt very expensive telly is useless at the moment.

I use the CAM slot in my TV to remind me that terrestrial telly should be unencrypted, and that I should forever boycott terrestrial pay-TV because I've already paid for it once via my TV licence tax, err, I mean fee.

Now I'll probably wait for Sky to buy up all the existing freeview DTT capacity and then launch their own proprietary NDS-powered STB so that I can boycott that too.

It's a good job the government aren't auctioning off all the spectrum available after analogue switch-off or Sky would bid on that!

It's nice to know that some things are sacred. I mean, can you imagine a world where Public Service Broadcasters were unable to launch FTA HD channels because they'd been priced out of the market, for example?!?!

Sorry. Rant mode off
