Over in Holland, KPN Digitale is selling Samsung receivers for 40 euros for their new digital terrestrial TV service (or 70 euros for the twin tuner version). These come with a built in CONAX CA system.
I wondered if anything stops anyone walking into a shop and buying a receiver and taking it back to England for watching Freeview. You would then avoid signing up for the subscription only service, which is presumably how KPN hopes to make the real profit. Looking at some of the Dutch forums, the general view is that KPN wouldn't be so stupid as to make this possible. Still, I was using Babelfish so I might have missed something in translation. Maybe someone here has some better information?
