How are you using your CI slot? you have a CAM module which is like a fat credit card and inside this is your viewing card. This website shows you a movie on how to fit a CAM into a CI (sorry about the Setanta promo)

Your Cam Slot requires a Cam for it to function, it is only used for pay TV, such as Setanta etc.

A CAM is a "Conditional Access Module" which allows for Pay channels to be watched with the appropriate card -- If your TV has freeview it may also take a TOP-UP CAM for those channels as well. Note that each cam will only decode the cards appropriate to it unless you have a specialist Multi-Cam such as the Dragon, Diablo etc. [mainly used on satellite receivers] -- Dave
