Cam module without access card. Modules for digital television

Now a buyer of a satellite television system with modern TV with CI+ support and built-in DVB-S2 tuner, there is a choice - to purchase a CI + CAM module from one of the satellite TV operators for viewing, placed directly on the TV, or buy a full-fledged satellite receiver. We have been working with both solutions for watching satellite TV for a long time, and I must say that both solutions have its advantages and disadvantages. That is what we will consider in this article.

CAM module CI + for satellite TV - pros and cons.

In order for satellite channels to be viewed directly from the TV, the TV itself must be equipped with a built-in DVB-S2 tuner. The module itself, placed on the TV, performs the function of decoding the stream received from the satellite.

Advantages of using the module are that the processing of the resulting image occurs directly on the TV. And the resulting image is immediately displayed on the screen. Thanks to this approach, there is no loss of image quality during transmission. Such loss of image quality is typical for a bundle of satellite receiver-TV.

Another plus of using the module on a TV is the ability to perform all actions with just one remote control. remote control- turned it on with one remote control, set the volume of the sound with it, you switch channels with it.

Another advantage of the module is the compactness of the solution. There is no need to invent a shelf for the receiver, how to fix the receiver if the TV itself is hung on the wall. There is also no mass of annoying connecting wires - connecting the receiver to the power supply and connecting from the receiver to the TV.

Now about the cons of using CAM module CI+

1. There is no way at all (or conveniently) to view the EPG - electronic program guide, i.e. program guide satellite channels, which is transmitted from the satellite and received by your antenna.

2. There is no way to call a large and convenient list of channels like on a satellite receiver. On the receiver for Tricolor, with the "OK" button, you can call up a list of 32 channels and scroll through it conveniently. The TV menu does not allow such a convenient display of the list of satellite channels.

Plus, only the satellite receiver has the ability to create a list (s) of favorite channels and navigate only through these favorite channels.

Among other things, both on the receiver from Tricolor and on the receiver for NTV + it is possible to impose a thematic filter on the channel list - i.e. display, for example, only federal or only educational channels. A TV with a module will not be able to do this. At least this functionality is not provided on the 2013-2014 models.

3. Satellite channels are more difficult to register on a TV using the module. When you buy a receiver for Tricolor or NTV +, the channels are already registered on it or are registered on the machine in 2-3 simple steps.

If you are using a module, then channels to the TV you have to prescribe yourself - the TV is universal- it allows you to add channels of any sat TV operator - Tricolor, NTV +, Telecard, Continent. And at the same time he does not know himself what to add to you - you do it yourself. The exception is LG smart TVs on the latest firmware.- they distinguish different operators TV and in step by step wizard settings ask about which operator's channels to register on your TV. Samsung TVs and Philips by the end of 2014 are lagging behind in this regard.

4. If the sat TV operator changes the list of channels (one was added, others were removed), then on the satellite receiver it is enough to rescan the channels in two steps, but on the TV this action will take longer and will require more tuner skills from you.

In case of receiver NTV + Humax 3100, then this receiver itself rescans channels every time it starts and adds new ones, removes those that have left the broadcast list - we really like and impress this functionality.

These are the difficulties and pleasures that lovers of satellite TV will face using compatible TV and CAM module CI +

Using a satellite receiver to watch satellite TV - the pros and cons

In the case of the receiver and its pluses and minuses, everything is exactly the opposite.

Consider the cons:

1. Dimensions of the receiver and the need for it convenient installation. There is not always a convenient place to install the receiver.

2. The need to use two remotes - for the TV (turn on / off, select the TV input and adjust the volume) and for the receiver (volume, program guide, channel selection)

In progress initial setup LG Smart TV, the system will prompt you to select which TV channels will be broadcast. The user has three options to choose from, cable, digital or satellite TV. In the process or at the end of the cable channel setup, an error often occurs - there is no LG TV CL module, what to do in this situation, we will consider in this review.

The cl module opens access to encrypted channels of the provider, its absence, respectively, blocks this possibility altogether. In fact, the solution to the problem lies in the same setting, which, most likely, was performed incorrectly, as a result of which this error appeared.

During the setup process, pay your attention to the choice of TV channel search parameters, if you check the digital TV box, and the equipment does not provide a built-in dv module, the same error will appear. That is, we select the item " cable TV"And wait for the end of the search process for available programs, after which it is unforgettable to save the settings, otherwise the error will appear again.

If this method does not work, it is possible that your TV software is outdated and it is unstable. In this case, seek help from the experts. service center LG, so you can count on professional hardware diagnostics and software updates for LG Smart TVs.

There are also alternative way settings, which can also help solve the problem with the lack of a CL module on an LG TV, but there is no guarantee of success.

This method involves changing the region, if at the very beginning you set Russia as your place of residence, then now replace it with Germany or Finland. Once this is done, search TV channels again. The missing module error should disappear, provided everything is done correctly. I repeat, this method is not suitable for all TV models, in addition, it may depend on the provider that supplies the cable TV service.

What is Cam Module?

The word "cam" stands for Conditional Acess Module, that is, a conditional access module, which is a device with which paid channels transmitted from satellites are decoded. The equipment does not receive a signal from the satellite, but is used only as an additional device for a TV or satellite receiver. Devices are installed in different systems- in cable networks, on-air terrestrial broadcasting, satellite TV. Most common application this equipment found . To work with the cam module, the TV must support the required standard. Today, there are three options - DVB-S / S2 (SAT), DVB-T / T2 (Ostankino), DVB-C (cable networks). To connect via a satellite set-top box, the receiver must have special slots. Conditional access devices differ in the encoding system they support. As a rule, each operator has its own chosen encoding option. paid content and under each coding the equipment is issued. Of the operators present on the market, the most common are tricolor access modules and ntv access modules. Devices for paid channels are supplied with a smart card, the task of which is to receive information on the activation and deactivation of paid or unpaid channels. Using devices on TVs is quite convenient, since the subscriber has only one remote control for working with television and satellite channels, and there are no additional set-top boxes next to the TV.

What are conditional access modules?

All devices can be divided into household and professional. The former are usually used for home use, the second in professional cable networks with headends. Household options allow you to decode no more than one channel at a time, for private users this is quite enough. Professional ones can simultaneously decrypt from 2 or more channels, which is important when connecting stations, since there is no need to purchase several TV access modules. But the price of such equipment is much more expensive.

Each device works in a specific coding system. The most common encodings are Viaccess, Irdeto, Cryptoworks, DRE Crypt, Conax, Mediaguard. There are also universal hd access slots that support multiple systems simultaneously. The main manufacturer of devices is currently the Chinese company SMIT, the equipment of this company is sold on the Russian market of telecommunications services.

CI+ access modules

The CI+ standard is relatively recent. Allows you to protect content from copying, preventing the recording of many programs and programs, rewinding, and deleting advertising blocks. This technology also allows you to bind the module to the receiving equipment - TV, receiver. For the user, this system has limitations, many programs and programs cannot be recorded, it all depends on how the content copyright holder has agreed with the broadcaster-operator. All modern TVs with DVB-S2 input and cam slot support CI+ standard. If you are going to connect the module using a set-top box, then here you should look at the possibility of working with this standard. Quite often this is implemented by installing a special software under CI+.

Our company has been working for more than 12 years in the field of sale, installation and configuration of satellite and television equipment and can offer its customers both advice in choosing and fishery for its connection at the Customer's site. You can buy the CI+ conditional access module either through the order form from the website or by making a registration by phone.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that guaranteed viewing of all channels is possible only if the latest version of the module software (SW) is installed on the receiver. Current version Software - 1.2.0 (for new modules 1.0.0).
To see current version The software of your module, using the user manual, find the item “CI Menu” (or “CI Settings” in the TV / receiver menu, the name may differ depending on the model of the TV / receiver.

To update the software of the CI+ module, you can contact our Tricolor TV dealer center in Moscow.

Please note that in order to ensure the correct operation of the module, the software version of your TV / receiver must be up to date. You can check the information on the software version on the official website or in the support service of the TV/receiver manufacturer.

We will also consider setting up the Tricolor TV CAM module on the example of an LG TV:

From the Advanced Settings Menu - Channels, select Channel Search and Tuning.

Auto search.

Specify the channel search mode - Satellite.

Select the option Other Operators (To delete all existing channels)

Select the Tricolor TV option

Select the menu item Transponder, in the drop-down menu, select absolutely any frequency (! Except!) 12226/L/27500

Click on the menu item Transponder again and now select 12226/L/27500 (Check if the UPDATE or ADD button is available, but do not click on it!)

Select the Network Search menu item and click the On option.

Press the REFRESH or ADD button, it will search for channels on the network.

Your LG needs to scan 22 transponders (about 300 channels, this figure includes TV channels and radio channels)
