OC shadow , there are already the Rules and regulation of the EU directives on Broadcasting.
they cover across the board mandatory inclusion of working CI CAM slots in all equipment, and it appears the UK/vendors are breaking these rules, although im not sure if anyones ever bothered to bring a case to court to force the UK vendors of 'multi-channel TV platforms' equipment and/or broadcasters to fully comply with the EU directive.
