I think the idea of a slot is to decrypt the encrypted signals, but using the idea of FTA channels you would not require a card unless you wanted to watch the encrypted channels and would therefore acquire a card from the particular vendor.

Ideally, if you have any Decoder with a Common Interface slot (CI), it should accept at least Star Times, but again, that;s up to StarTimes to support such, and they may not have plicy.

I think the other stations charge akina Startimes because StarTimes also charge for the same, or place them in chargeable bouquets.
