Default Could we amend the title on "CAMs card & programmers"

I was wondering if it's possible to change the title slightly on the "CAMs, cards and programmers" thread. At the moment if you have a CAM/card question about receiving cable it's not clear where to post as there is only one forum title mentioning CAMs and cards - and it's in the satellite section. I think I may have accidentally posted a question about CAMs for my cable HTPC setup in there a while back simply because I thought this must be where ALL programming questions went. D'oh!

Would it be possible to add (satellite only) after the forum title, or in the subtitle to add "no cable related questions - put them in the general cable section"? I don't think there's enough interest or info to warrant a cable CAM/card/programmer thread but just clarifying would probably help keep things tidy a little.

Thanks, and please keep up the excellent forum Brian and Co.

Cams are not used with cable boxes, only in cable on pc section, if you have card type question use cable tv chat, as you say its best not to ask cable questions in the satellite section, they get very cross.

Thanks Red - no problem on which area to post in now I've found my way round, just thinking a small wording change might help the newbies (or rather, would've helped me a few months back!) and avoid antagonising the satellite folks.

Do appreciate what you say about it only being a tiny minority of cable users who need CAMs, so you're probably right that it's a bit pointless. Cheers dude.
