About Smart Card and the CA Module
To be able to receive pay-TV channels you will need an CA Mo-
dule and a Smart Card from the Service Provider of your choice.
The Service Provider is the distributor of the programmes.
If you are subscribing to services from more than one Service
Provider, you might have to change between two Smart Cards,
or even between two CA Modules.
Please note, that a smart card is connected to a single Service
Provider and due to this, a specific range of channels.
It is possible to view "free" channels without the CA Module.
After inserting the card, leave it in the slot permanently. Do not
remove it again, unless your Service Provider asks you to do so.
This is important, because if your Service Provider wants to
download new information to the Mediamaster, the card has to
be in the slot.
PIN Code
The card is loaded with a 4-numbered code, also called a PIN code
(Personal Identification Number). Normally the PIN code is 1234.
The code is essential for the future extra services offered by the
Service Provider.
Information for these services will be described further on in this
Manual.
