There's no cam slot on a HD FOX T2, there's space for one behind a flap but it's got a blanking plate in it. I guess there's no internal contacts for one.

Question

I have a TV that has a Common Interface slot. I am wondering if I can get Sky Sports with a card or do I need to purchase some sort of box?

Our Answer

Most new TV sets come with a CI (Common Interface) slot. These require what’s known as a CAM (Conditional Access Module) to work. A CAM accepts a TV subscription card.

Here’s a picture of a CAM being slid into a TV set’s CI slot:

With a subscription card inserted into a CAM, that’s then inserted into a TV set, you are able to watch encrypted TV channels.

At time of writing, TV sets with a CI Slot can only be used to decode one TV channel, and that’s ESPN, the sports channel.

How do I get ESPN?

If you want to use your TV set’s CI socket for ESPN, you can get a viewing card and a CAM from Top Up TV.

What about Sky Sports?

At the moment, you can’t get Sky Sports 1 or Sky Sports 2 using a CI slot, CAM and subscription card. This is because Sky does not believe that the Cam/ CI technology is secure enough, and accordingly, for Sky Sports, you’ll need a set-top box.

That having been said, at the end of 2010, the UK regulator OfCom upheld a complaint from Top Up TV, and it looks like Sky will be required to support a CAM in the future. It’s expected that older CI slots may not work though, and you’d need a TV that has a CI+ slot. At the time of writing, it’s still not possible to use a CI slot for Sky Sports, and we’ll update this article as soon as a solution is offered.

How to get Sky Sports on Freeview

As we explain above, you can use a CI slot for ESPN, but not for Sky (yet). To get Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2, you need a set-top box with a suitable card slot, and a subscription card.

Top Up TV is offering two boxes:

You can order a set-top box and get a subscription card direct from Top Up TV: Visit www.topuptv.com/skysports
