<div>Paul - yes it works, even with premium channels such as Sky Sports if you enter your Sky box number into the CAM. The CAMs are currently called 'T-Rex'. You do need a fully paid up Sky card which will need to be put into the original box every 6 weeks or so to get the new keys that are transmitted - the keys cannot be updated by the CAM. While you need to pay your subscription to make this work (so morally and ethically there's nothing wrong with it), and the EU is generally supportive of 3rd party CAMs, it is a grey area legally and certainly not encouraged by the Murdoch family, or discussion on this list.
