i see i can buy a smartcard reader for the 5200 off ebay. i have a trex/dragon cam. can the 5200 patched box read all the cards the trex can if not is there a way of getting the 5200 to read my trex cam??

The card reader can read quite a few cards apparently, there is a list of them somewhere.

Look on A l s a t.

If you card is not listed, then it may or may not work.

One thing for sure is that it won't read a Sky card, wheras the Dragon will.

I have looked far and wide to try and get a CAM slot for my TM1000, but it appears that one is not available, an uprade is probably the only solution.
