can i use the set top box without smart card to see free to air channel
I'm glad to have found this article... I was recently trying to get my head around which CAM I need to watch Sky digital programs, and emailed the shop which I would probably be buying from asking which CAM would be suitable.
Their response was that the only CAM which works with Sky is one called the "T-Rex", which also happens to be the most expensive CAM they sell.
Can someone please explain what is the difference between "Dragon / T-Rex with loader", "Dragon 4.1 with programmer" "T-Rex / Dragon CAM" and "T-Rex CAM with programmer"? I can't find anything explaining what a loader/programmer is (presumably for installing software on the CAM, but what's the difference?)
If someone knowledgeable could expand on this wiki entry to explain how CAMs work, and which bits a newbie like me would need just to receive Sky, I'm sure it would be useful to many people.

You can record TV to your computer without the expense of a CAM or a SKY+ subscription. I use a product called Dazzle made by Pinnacle systems. (There may be other hardware manufacturers I am not aware of) If you have a dual or quad LNB you might consider buying a second-hand digibox solely for recording. This is useful for people outside the UK who are unable to subscribe to Sky+.
I think there is overlap in the information here with the existing conditional access article at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_access. Perhaps this article should be merged with that one?
