What is Common Interface?
Common Interface (CI) is an interface for DVB receivers such as
digital receivers (including set-top boxes).
The digital receiver and CI modules can receive and process all
unencrypted and certain encrypted digital stations.
Encoded channels can only be viewed with a CI module suitable for
the encoding system and the appropriate smart card.
The front of the digital receiver has a Common Interface slot. You
can use CI modules from various providers in the Common Interface
slot.
You can insert the provider’s smart card into the CI module in order
to enable the encrypted satellite stations you want to see.
Note:
Disconnect the power plug before you insert a CI module.
