If your TV supports CAM modules, then you can watch paid satellite TV on it, such as Tricolor TV, NTV Plus, TELEKARTA, Rainbow TV, etc. You just need to buy a smart card of the operator you need , a module for this card, and insert the card with the module into the CI slot of the TV.
When choosing such a TV, the main thing is not to confuse it with DVB-T2, even if you tell the seller that you want a TV with a built-in receiver, he can sell you instead of DVB-S2, DVB-T2, and these are completely different things. Usually, by the name of the model, you can read what kind of receiver is installed in the TV. For example, for “LG” in the model name “47LM580S-ZA” the letter “S” indicates that the TV has a built-in DVB-S / S2 receiver.
The surest way to determine if your TV has a satellite receiver is to look back where all the connectors are located and find the “LNB IN” antenna input.
All these TVs have a "CI" slot for "CAM" modules. The "CAM" module is selected depending on the encoding in which the content is encoded, for example, if it is "Tricolor TV", then the "DRECrypt" module is needed, and preferably the latest version. There are no problems with the module, it can be easily purchased in a special store.
Brief instructions for configuring the CAM module "Tricolor TV" or "NTV PLUS" on LG TVs.
1. Install the Tricolor TV smart card into the Tricolor TV conditional access module (CAM WEST CI +). Chip to the thick side of the module.
2. Install the conditional access module in the switched off TV.
3. We turn on the TV and look at the information about the module and the access card, if there is no information or error code 17, check the installation is correct and register the equipment on the Tricolor website.
4. In the TV menu, in the settings, select the type of antenna " satellite". In the settings of the Tricolor satellite dish converter, specify the satellite Eutelsat 36А / 36В... Converter type single... Converter power supply (LNB) - on. LNB 10750... Transponder frequency - 12226 MHz or 12111 MHz or 11881 MHz (default settings) bit rate 27500. Let's look at the signal quality.
5. Go to channel setting and include automatic search(in new generation TVs) transponder frequencies from 11881 to 12418 will be registered automatically. At the same time, it is desirable that the TV be flashed with the latest software version, in this case the Tricolor TV CI + CAM module will work more correctly, all transponders will be relevant, and you will correctly scan the necessary channels.
6. If everything went well and the channels were found, go to the sound settings on the TV and set it in the " Digital TV Sound Settings" parameter MPEG... This is done so that the sound on the channels does not disappear when watching. Go to the module settings CI data (CAM) orCI Parameters> Settings and select the item " Factory reset". Turn off the TV completely.
9. An important feature of LG TVs is the “Automatic channel update". It must be turned off, otherwise the TV will periodically reset the channel list you have configured.Go to settings "Channel auto-update "and set the parameter:off.Now you can fully enjoy your TV's capabilities while watching HD channels. Enjoy your viewing and vivid emotions!
NOTE:
Problems with sound or incorrect switching of Tricolor TV channels on the CAM module were eliminated in the update on the CAM module in December 2014.
For self-updating of the CAM module on the TV, find in the list of channels of the operator Tricolor TV the service channel for updating the software - " Telemaster ".He usually goes under the number333 according to the operator's list. If it is not in the list, scan the channels again.
After you switch to it, you can update the CAM of the Tricolor TV module through the TV menu CI data (CAM) or CI Settings> Settings> Software Download> OK... If new software is available and you are prompted to update, click OK on the remote control, after that, the percentages of the software update will go. It is necessary to wait until the module software is fully loaded from the satellite and upon completion of the update, reset the module to factory settings: CI data (CAM) orCI Settings> Settings> Factory Reset> OK
After the update, everything works correctly, no glitches are observed, all channels are always in place and with sound. CHECKED!

If you have a huge desire to update or expand the number of channels that you can, then you will have to choose how to achieve that goal. You can certainly use an external tuner, but you can also just do without it, while successfully connecting to satellite or cable TV.
Connecting the CAM module will expand the list of available TV channels.
To implement such a task, you will need to connect a CAM module, and also have an access card available. The presence of these two components is necessary, because they provide the decoding of paid digital channels that are broadcasted by the provider.
Unfortunately, not everyone can afford such a connection, even with an unlimited desire. It is important to first make sure that your TV is equipped with a dedicated ANT In Satellite connector located on the back of the TV. If you have not found such a connector, you will have to accept that your TV does not support direct connection to a satellite dish, therefore, you will have to definitely purchase an external tuner to solve this problem.
Rules for connecting and configuring the CAM module
If you purchase a receiver, you can provide satellite broadcasting of channels even on TVs released more than ten years ago. Experts will be able to choose the right material, cable, ensuring the successful connection of the TV to a satellite dish. However, despite the multiple advantages of the receiver, you still have to face some disadvantages when using it. In particular, you have to adapt to using two remotes:
- from the TV;
- from a satellite receiver.
If you are tired of such confusion and want to simplify your "life", we recommend that you connect a CAM module.
Connection algorithm
Modern TVs are already equipped with special satellite receivers, in particular DVB-S2. To ensure a high-quality connection to a satellite dish, it remains only to purchase a CAM module that allows you to decrypt digital channels.
IMPORTANT. It should be borne in mind that different operators create their own channel coding system, therefore, in order to gain access to these particular channels, you have to purchase a CAM module from one or several operators, depending on individual viewing preferences. Of course, using a specific CAM-module of a specific operator, it is possible to establish contact with the selected operator and view all the satellite channels that this operator broadcasts.
When choosing this method of connecting to satellite television, the advantages also become noticeable, but along with them also disadvantages. The advantages include the fact that it is possible to successfully control the TV using just one remote control. The disadvantages include the fact that not all TVs are equipped with the CI + module, and they also lack DVB-S2. If you have met all the conditions for a successful connection, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with a completely simple instruction on how to install and configure the CAM module.
Initially, take the CAM module in your hands and insert the access card firmly into it.
Now unplug the TV set from the mains to prevent injury from electric shock. Approach the TV so that it is comfortable for you to inspect the back wall. Take a close look at the rear panel to find the dedicated PCMCIA slot. It is accompanied by a corresponding inscription, therefore, with care, you can easily find it.
Insert the module into this slot with its front side facing the wall. Connect your TV to a satellite dish, only then turn on the TV.
Sometimes the TV manufacturer equips it with a special CI adapter. In this case, the connection of the CAM-module will be accompanied by small features. In particular, on the back of your TV you can easily find the Common Interface sticker, remove it, and insert the CI adapter into the open puzzles. Check the quality of the adapter connection, then insert the CAM into it.
This completes the connection process, but your actions will now focus on setting up the channels of the operator whose access card you purchased.
Tuning Algorithm
Before proceeding with the setup, we recommend that you make sure that everything works fine, that your TV can see the CAM module perfectly. To do this, go to the menu of your TV, then go to the parameter "CI Data (CAM)". You will now see two suggested actions:
- information;
- settings.
Go to the first line to get information about the used module. If you inserted something wrong, your TV will not display any information about the module, therefore, you will have to check whether you inserted the CAM module correctly into the special slot.
ATTENTION. Only when you were able to make sure that everything is connected correctly, that the module is working successfully, we suggest that you proceed to the next important steps, focused on setting up satellite channels.
Pick up your TV remote control and enter the menu. Most often, it is enough to press the Settings button. Go to the "Fast" submenu, stop your choice on the "Search for channels" line. The system will prompt you to select search options, we recommend that you select "Autosearch". Next, you will be asked to specify the channel settings mode. Of course, you need to select the "Satellite" mode.
Of course, you will immediately have to indicate the operator whose access card you purchased, whose channels you are counting on.
After that, you just have to click on the "Run" button and just wait for the search process to be completed. In this case, information will appear on the screen, after reading which you will understand how many channels were detected and, accordingly, they can be connected.
So, if you wanted to update something in your life, in particular, expand the number of satellite channels, allow yourself to view those channels that were previously unavailable, it will be useful for you to update, and sometimes for the first time to familiarize yourself with the information on how to connect CAM- module. You will certainly be pleased that you will not find any particular difficulties in performing such actions. Do not be afraid of difficulties, take steps trying to independently update the broadcast of your satellite dish channels.
If you have already performed any actions, then first we advise you to reset your Samsung TV.
Factory reset your Samsung TV
How to factory reset your Samsung TV:
- We go to the item "Support" -> "Self-diagnosis" -> "Reset"
- Enter the pin code ("0000" by default).
- We agree with everything written on the screen.
Attention! Do not insert the CAM access module at this stage!
After the reset, we start configuring the CI module on Samsung.
Let's move on to setting up
1. Go to the menu and go to the satellite channel settings. As you can see, there is already a satellite "EUTELSAT 36E" here. We need to uncheck this satellite. To do this, click on the "Select satellite" line, look for "EUTELSAT 36E" and click on it (the check mark should disappear).
2. Now we need to create our satellite. To do this, find at the end "User Sat 1", mark it with a tick and click "save".
3. Let's go to "LNB Settings".
4. We see that there are no transponders and this function is not available. Let's set the lower limit in the same way as the upper one, and now you can close the menu.
5. Go to the menu again, look for the item "Broadcast" -> "Channel settings" -> "Manual settings". In this tab we can see our satellite "User Sat 1". Press, we see "Transponder" and the item "Create" will become active.
6. Now enter the frequency (for example 12418 ", then click" OK. "Enter the baud rate 27500, click" OK "and" Save "again.
8. Re-enter the "Transponder", but this time turn on the network search, and then click "Search" again.
9. A search will be made in all available frequencies of Tricolor TV transponders. For example, we found 277 channels and 40 radio stations.

This is a device for watching digital TV without using an HD set-top box. To use the CAM module, you need a TV equipped with a DVB-C receiver with a built-in CI connector (CI slot) - as a rule, these are TVs older than 2012. For other TVs, an HD set-top box or an interactive set-top box is suitable.
The CAM module is attached to the back of the TV in a special slot. You continue to control the TV with the usual TV remote control.
CAM CONFIGURATION
To use the cam module you need:
- digital television network connection
- presence on TV:
- built-in digital tuner that receives a signal in DVB-C format;
- built-in MPEG-2 / MPEG-4 decoder;
- CI (Common Interface) slot for installing the CAM module.
As a rule, all TVs under 2013 release allow installing a cam-module (for Samsung TVs - from 2009 release, Philips - from 2011). Setting up a cam module to receive a signal from any digital TV operators is identical, since you are not setting up a cam module, but the TV itself. Below are the cam module settings for major TV brands.
Installing the CAM module
- Disconnect the TV from the power supply.
- Insert the CAM module carefully without an access card. Make sure the module is fully seated in the slot.
- Insert the access card into the CAM with the TV logo. The side of the card with the chip must face the CAM module. The edges of a correctly inserted access card must not extend beyond the CAM module. For MTS television, the card must be activated.
- Connect your TV to the network.
After switching on, information about the presence of the CAM module will appear on the TV screen.
