TM 1600 2CI Super
Can someone please explain to a newcomer why i have what looks like an open slot for a cam and above that a plastic insert which i assume is the size of a viewing card?
Is this "plastic cover" removable and can i insert just a card in there? If so, is this what they call an embedded cam? When i first bought the box i thought 2CI meant i could install 2 cams & cards. Have patched with Darkman/Magic but now looking how to open up more channels via cams/cards.In anticipation,thank you.  |

Re: TM 1600 2CI Super
You have not got a card slot, you have a blanking plate.
I have the TM1000D, but now I have a card reader, making it a TM1000D+ I removed the blanking plate and purchased a card reader separately. It just plugs into the main board and needs screwing down. As you have the 2CI, I suspect that the CAM slot you have is a double one, so two CAMs could be slotted in one above the other. Robbo

Re: TM 1600 2CI Super
Assuming that the 1600 is currently as well supported as the rest of the 1000 series, there is no real benefit of a CAM. Although the Diablo and TRex accept a Sky card apparently, but don't provide card updates.
THe card slot is necessary for an official subscription like DigitAlb for example
