MEMORY CARD FOR DIGITAL TV DECODER AND METHOD FOR DATA PROCESSING USING MEMORY CARD AND METHOD FOR PAID ACCESS TO MEMORY CARD

摘要

The present invention relates to a memory card (201) for a digital television decoder, which has a memory block (202) with a separate data memory area (205). The separate data memory area (205) can have the size from ten megabytes to a few gigabytes and can be used for storing audio/video data, audio data or application programs for the digital television decoder. The card also comprises a conditional access circuit (207) for descrambling of data stored in the separate data memory area (205), and a controller (206) for controlling the data flow inside the card. The controller (206) allows replay of data from the separate data memory when the conditions for replay of data, stored separately for each data file, are met.
