Quote from tweetiepooh: How will they lock out all the older sets? If you've paid for a TV and watch BBC but it just has a basic Digital receiver. Or sets in places without good internet but fine aerial.

Both my modern (about 5 years old) sets have a slot for the
Conditional Access Module. This allows for reception of encrypted channels even on DVB T. Subscription payers would get a card to allow for BBC channels reception.
Given how cheap a TV stick or STB is those without a CAM slot could have a suitable box with a SCART, HDMI and RF output as part of the subscription.
Satellite and cable customers would pay a subscription as part of their package if they wanted BBC channels.
Such a change could be rolled out pretty quickly.
