**** Includes Smart Card to access REAL Digital's potential 400 free channels (TV/radio)
**** Consumers simply need to call the number on their screen to activate the card. Once activated customers can choose if they want to simply watch all the great free channels

So the ROFL Digital STB will be locked and customers will not even be able to watch the FTA channels until they phone a number (presumably a premium rate to compensate ROFL Digital's lack of income like EPG fees). Freesat and Sky don't cripple their boxes if we don't use them for their intended use...

A Sky box that don't have a subscription or cancel their subscription can still access the FTA channels via the Sky EPG.

A freesat box not used via the freesat EPG can still be used in non-freesat mode and store and watch FTA channels.

Although OFCOM has ruled in their favour, and they will be able to carry Sky Sports, Conax Encrypted.
