It has been clarified  elsewhere that any setbox whichever the vendor will
carry all Free To Air (FTA) channels. What we should understand is that a
setbox is a component of a TV, only that the setbox is external because our
old TVs were analog and buying new digital TVs would not be cost effective.
Therefore, no FTA channel owner can deny anybody from accessing content
from say a digital LG and Samsung but allow Sony and Sanyo.

CCK seems to have flexed it's muscle by reigning on the fallacy that was
being perpetrated by the 3 media houses.
