Topfield TF 5800 PVR DVR User Manual


 
16 Introduction and getting started
not to add a subscription module, you will still be able to see
all the free channels and listen to all the radio stations.
Your PVR will automatically detect all channels during the
setup procedure that we have described, including any pay
TV channels being broadcast, but you will need to install the
subscription module, called a CAM (Conditional Access Mod-
ule) before you can view the pay channels.
To install a CAM, make sure your PVR is in standby mode,
and pull down the flap at the right hand end of the front panel.
Push the module into either of the slots —it
doesn’t matter which one—until it is fully in-
serted; the button to the right of the slot will pop
out. Ensure that the CAM is the correct way up;
the multi-way connector should be pushed into
the slot, and the corner of the connector that
does not have a small plastic ridge sticking out
should be at the top left.
Next, insert the viewing card into the slot on the front of the
CAM. To activate your subscription, you will need to follow
the instructions supplied with the CAM and viewing card.
When your card is activated, it will be used automatically by
your PVR, so that pay channels can be viewed just like any
others.
If you attempt to view a pay tv channel without a subscription
module, or with an invalid viewing card, a message will be
displayed, telling you that the channel is scrambled.
