Default Benefits of buying a cam

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.

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
