As I understand it the Settop boxes being ordered by the 3 companies will carry exactly 4 signals. Why you would buy that and ignore the Signet and PANG channels makes no sense for a household. Even if they withdraw their sinals from PANG and Signet, would you happily keep watching 4 stations when you can get loads more for free??

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.
