Top Up Tv Question

KittyKate

Hi all, I have a TV with integrated digital, but to watch 'top up' channels you need a cam card for the monthly top up tv card to fit into. These are proving very hard to find on the high street and are hitting as high as £50 on ebay!

My question is, do I need a 'named' top up tv cam card or can I buy a generic one cheaper?

i may be wrong here but.... I think that channel 5 are reclaiming part of the multiplex that they lease to top up for new channel 5 digital channels. I think therefore that the top up service is going to be much reduced and they atre looking at a pvr typr system where tv programs are downloaded overnight.

You might not get as much as you think if you invest in a CAM.

I would echo that suggestion.
