The Diablo 2.3 is a CAM, Conditional Access Module, and can currently open 2 extra packages, DigitAlb 16E and Canal Digital 1W.
You need a CAS programmer to program the Cam with underworld files.
The Gamma card is very difficult to get hold of now, or find files for, it was supposed to open the Nova package, 13E, among others.

Hi all,

Not so hard to get hold of a gamma card, they are down to £65.00 each. You will need a programer at £12.00 min for a small bee. or £22.00 a cas 2. Diablo best deal £99.00 for a 2.3 and cas 3 programmer.

Diablo will go straight into a 1500 and a 5000 but a m2 card is a little difficult to say, a gamma will not work with 800db for sure but maybe a 9100 or 1500.

g++gle it...but make sure you buy the 2.3 version of cam and cas3+ programmer and then if you change cams or cards then they can be programmed in that.
