It`s so you can plug in a card for TopUpTV or whatever the equivalent that is available these days for watching pay TV via Freeview.

It`s used for Pay-to-View TV and it stands for Common Interface.

The CI (Common Interface) port is electrically/mechanically similar to a PC PCMCIA port and will accept CAMs (Conditional Access Modules) that are CI compatible.
There have also been some cases (pretty rare though) where a particular manufacturer has supplied a TV software upgrade via a specially loaded CAM.
For most people the CI slot is of no use whatsoever.
