From the website:

while the PCMCIA slot can be used for introducing conditional access cards for digital subscriptions services such as Top Up TV.

gateway ,hope this helps
PCMIA card is an interface slot for a card reader .say if you buy top up tv or setanta,they send you a viewing card.you put the card reader in the slot and then your viewin card into the reader its for additional channels that you pay for .hope this makes sense
