I imagine it workes like this:

You were tuned to an interactive channel with a setup that includes a picture feed, and responses to certain keypresses...

The interactive channel finished (as it probably costs more to keep the feed going when there's nothing to show) so it swicthed to the equivilent of the old colour bars...

This removes the interactive content, which includes the responses to keypresses, "locking" you in.

This is all speculation, but would certainly make sense...
