Hi, just installed my new KDL40EX503. What do I need to add/buy in order to be able to use a Topup TV card?

And where would I be able to get it from?

Thanks

Hi - Best start here - http://www.topuptv.com/ . You basically need a CAM (Top Up TV Viewing Card) from these guys.

Thanks

Thanks.

It looks as though the Topup TV service has changed a bit since I last looked at it (back when it started, basically). I don't want a set top box so I won't bother. Is there any other use for the socket on the Bravia?

They still offer CAM's here - http://www.topuptv.com/cam/ .Aside fro TUTV, no-one else offers a CAM based service in the UK as far as I know.

Thanks

Thanks again. I would have been interested in a service like the original TUTV but not what looks like a specific ESPN service. I'll just have to make-do with Freeview, Youtube, etc, etc...

I've got the streaming working nicely, apart from the PC going to sleep. But with Quickstart disabled I'm still getting 11 to 12 watts on standby which seems to be a lot higher than the "Power Consumption (Standby) 0.20 (W)" quoted.
