[QUOTE="jhb, post: 1171459, member: 24959"] Sorry for not being100% clear here. It is the CI+ capable CAM that is needed as it supports MPEG4 decryption (also needed for MPEG4 on DVB-T, not only for DVB-T2). I have one such CAM for my DVBsky-card already, but I totally forgot that such a CAM is needed when moving over my old CAM (from my FloppyDTV-card - R.I.P) to my new TBS5881 USB box. Boxer in Sweden are using functionality of the CAMs and the CAMs do support CI+, but the interface to the TV-card only uses CI functionality to be compatible with TV-sets etc. They don't want to have to handle different CAMs for different TV-sets depending on their capabilities. So as long as Boxer are supporting CAM insertion into TVs and there are enough of CI-only TV-sets out there I don't think they will start using the CI+ specific functionality of the CAMs (like pairing).
