Usefull all around the world. The main is the satellite coverage and decoder
card.
Your decoder doesn't know about your place on the Earth :)

It's not the smart card that is the problem but the CAM. The early Dstv
decoders had a removable CAM but the modern one's have built in CAM's which
are for SA only.

MultiChoice uses the IRDETO encription system which is embedded in the CAM
modual which is embedded in the decoder (can't remove it) Therefore the
decoder can only be used with providers that use the IRDETO encryption to
scramble the signal.
