Here is a link for this argument (saortv, irish free digital TV)

They say that:

"The longer explanation as why the Neotion or any other “CAM” solution can’t work

The PCMCIA (CI slot for a CAM on a TV or set-box) is for PayTV decoder which has a viewing card slot.

Usually an MPEG2 TV can’t see the MPEG4 channels if they are “flagged” properly, thus there is nothing for the converter that mimics a  “CAM”  to convert. If it’s an HD broadcast the MPEG2 bitrate is too high, so HD won’t ever work. Some Saorview channels will only be transmitted in HD.

The “Converter CAM” has to have an MPEG4 decoder and MPEG2 encoder so even if it did work, it reduces quality, adds delay and may run hot enough to damage the TV or set-box."

That’s their opinion. I don’t know if your TV is compatible with mpeg4, but if it isn’t, till now and for me, the only solution is an external mpeg4 decoder. But be careful it must be tested and surely compatible with Greek digital signal.

Have you get in contact with Greek Sony’s Support?
