The card I have bought is a Viaccess 2.5, prov. ID 022200 (Televisa Networks) which opens five Mexican channels on Panamsat at 43°W. Just like Digitalb, subscribing to Televisa is legal in all parts of Europe and it's a great choice if ... and it's a big IF ... if you really, REALLY, want to receive some Mexican channels, ideally for the purpose of learning Spanish. Three channels on Televisa Networks are worth the €225/12months subscription. These channels are Canal De Las Estrellas, Telehit and Ritmoson. One week after I have received the card, I fell in love with Mexican television, I think you will see why from the screenshots. But please be warned, this package definitely isn't for everyone. There are no new movies, no sport except Mexican football and bullfighting and no porn. It's just lots of latino music, variety shows (many of which are just incredibly stupid), telenovelas and most importantly news broadcasts from the American Spanish-language network UNIVISION. The programming is very often cheap and dull but yet full of energy and entertainment.
To subscribe to Televisa Networks in Europe, you have to contact Visat in Madrid who will send you the smartcard once they have received €225 from you. More information can be found in THIS document.
In addition to Televisa, there are two other latino channels on Panamsat 3R - Ecuavisa Internacional and Telecuador. Both free to air but the content is quite poor, although you get to see some interesting Ecuador commercials.
And finally, here come the screenshots.
