Comments on: Sky Sports on Freeview – how do you get it? http://gonedigital.net/2010/08/18/sky-sports-on-freeview-%e2%80%93-how-do-you-get-it/ Nigel Whitfield’s digital TV & technology blog Fri, 18 May 2012 16:23:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nigel http://gonedigital.net/2010/08/18/sky-sports-on-freeview-%e2%80%93-how-do-you-get-it/comment-page-1/#comment-2816 Nigel Fri, 17 Dec 2010 09:53:59 +0000 http://gonedigital.net/?p=605#comment-2816 Sky insisted on upgrades to the security which meant that CAMs stopped working; however, a ruling this week from Ofcom - which you'll find via the main page of this blog - has updated the situation somewhat. However, you won't be able to go back to your existing CAM; you will need a new generation 'CI+' CAM, which should be available in the new year, and your TV may or may not be compatible with CI+. That's something you'll have to check with the manufacturer, I'm afraid.

I rung Top Up TV today and they told me I must use the set top box (Thomson DTR Refurbed) because Sky had cut off the CAM signal? I had to get Top UP TV to send down a new signal to the Thomson box to get SS1 & 2 back. My question is can I go back to the CAM Slot on my LG TV or will sky just cut me off again? Hello
