Questions people ask

Ten of them, answered from what the panel actually does. If yours is not here, the chat button is on every page.

Every figure below comes straight from the panel, so it is what you will actually be charged and what was actually measured.

Before you buy, and after.

I have paid for credits. Now what?

Nothing. The credits are on your balance by the time the payment clears, and you spend them by creating a line. There is no code to redeem and no redeem page, whatever you may have read here before. If your balance has not moved, that is a fault, not a step you have missed, so open a ticket and we will find it.

What is CCcam?

One of the ways a card is shared. Our servers hold the cards and answer the key requests your customer’s receiver sends, so his box opens the channel without a card in it. OSCam and ICAM work the same way and the panel generates configs for all three.

Do you have a free CCcam account?

The service is paid, but the tests are free and always have been. A 24 or 48 hour line costs no credits, and you can take three a day before you have paid for anything. Put one on your own receiver before you put one on a customer’s.

How much does a 12 month account cost?

A year is 10 credits, not twelve, so it depends only on what a credit cost you. On the smallest top up that is €8.33 for twelve months of one customer, and on the largest €6.06. Every package and the arithmetic is on the price page.

Everyone says no freezing. Why should I believe you?

You should not, from anybody, including us. So here is what was measured instead of what is claimed: 330 ms to answer a channel change, and 93% of them worked, over the 5 days to 22 September 2026, read off what customers were really watching rather than off a test rig. Then go and check it yourself on a free line, on your own dish, with the football on.

What happens when a server goes down on a Saturday night?

Every subscription is two dedicated lines on two separate servers, and both go into the receiver, so the box carries on while the match is still on. The machines are read every minute rather than trusted, so the line list shows you a customer has dropped before he telephones you about it.

Which receivers does this work with?

Anything that speaks CCcam or OSCam, which is most of what is on the market: Vu+, Zgemma, Dreambox, Amiko, AX and Enigma2 boxes generally. There are flashing guides here for the common ones, and you are welcome to send a customer the link instead of driving over.

Where are the cards?

Local cards for providers in Portugal, Germany, Poland, Italy, the Netherlands and Slovakia, among others. We do not publish the list of what we hold, because that is a shopping list for a competitor. Ask before you buy if a particular one matters to you, or take a free test and look.

Can I sell under my own name?

Yes, and it is the point. Your customers are yours: we never see their names, never contact them and never set your prices. A sub-reseller you appoint gets a panel with nothing on it that leads back to us, and nothing that leads back to you either unless you put it there.

Who should I contact if I need help?

A ticket from inside the panel is best when it is about one line, because it arrives with the customer, the servers and the expiry already attached. Live chat on this site is better before you have an account. Telegram at @satcable when it needs to be quick, and there is an email address on the contact page.

The answer you can check yourself.

A free line on your own box for forty-eight hours, at no cost and with no card details. Watch something on it before you decide whether any of the above is true.

Three free test lines a day before you have paid for anything.
