Common Interface

Follow the instructions given by your Pay TV provider.

The Common Interface for insertion of two so-called Conditional Access modules is located underneath the front flap.

The Smartcard sold by the Pay TV provider, specific to a particular encryption technology, is inserted into the CA module. The card is not included in the receiver package.

The cards and modules are issued by the respective Pay TV providers, and contain the subscriber data and details of the programmes for which the subscriber has paid. These programmes are always encrypted.

Contact the Pay TV provider if you are interested in subscribing to a particular Pay TV channel.

You alone are responsible for use of the cards.

Keep the card and the associated PIN code in a safe placing when not in use.

When you turn on the receiver, the following message appears:

confirming by pressing .

The screenshots below depend on the specific module and card, and so are only intended as examples.
