There is a CAM slot on the TV and I was wondering if I plug in the UPC card would this allow me to view the channels on the TV (i.e. would it replaced the UPC set top box for me)??

No. You can, unfortunately, only use the equipment supplied and owned by UPC.

The channels you are seeing are the few that are not encrypted on the upc network. The majority of them are though so the CAM is a non-runner.
