    Hello I just bought a Topfield TF7700HSCI and I see one of those conditional access modules for it

    Iv never had experience with them tbh so im not sure which type I need for my cyfra card and maybe down the line a JSC card

    the seller I bought it off has a rex module so should that work with my cyfra card or would I need to download software for the cam ?

    do you want to know what a cam is ?

    or which cam to buy ?

    Cyfra needs a conax cam. JSC is Viaccess and Irdeto.
    If you dont follow, they are the encryption types.

    Go with a multicrypt cam if you are buying one
    but check first has your box got a card reader.

    You might not need a cam at all. Just a flash.
    Just noticed. you have two CI slots. No reader.

    Dont get a matrix cam as it only does cyfra SD. You have a HD box.

    The T-Rex is an old cam so be careful.
    It might not do HD either but i could be wrong.
    Check first.
    Probably Dragon or Diablo needed.
    You will have to do the homework.

    alsat forum is a good place to ask these questions.

    My Cyfra+ card would not work in my Digitalb hd receiver with a conax card slot so I really doubt that the card would work in a conax cam

    I'm pretty sure Cyfra is SECA Mediaguard.

    I just did a quick Ebay search on a cyfra cam and this was the only result that turned up. I'm not sure if it would work or not but it looks good.
