Hi,

What are the benefits of buying a cam. I have tm5400 whcih i belive has a slot for these. Can these be modded to acces scrambled channels ?
Notice that there seems to be quite a few out there to choose from - what are the major differences. Oh When you buy a cam do you need to buy the card that goes in it ?

One day i'll understand all this....

appreciate any info AT ALL

Joe.

The top dog cam at the mo, is the diablo v2.3 but a cam is only as good as the support it gets.

The Dragon cam has had good support for a good few years now, but doesnt open all the diablo does.

I think your 5400 could be patched, but wont open all the diablo can.

What sort of channels/packages does it open ?

The Diablo 2.3 can currently open DigitAlb, 16E, and Canal Digital,1W, as well as the usual packages.

the diablo cam doesn't need a card as well to descramble channels. if you can afford to spend on one then i would recommend one but do remember channels are not guaranteed to last and could go black at any time
