Once upon a time (Oct 4, 2004), Måns Rullgård shaped the electrons to say:

At least on satellite, Viasat has recently switched from Viaccess to the 
Videoguard encryption system. AFAIK there are no CAMs available that can 
deal with Videoguard and rumor has there aren't going to be, either. 

Viasat seems to want anyone who watches their channels to use only 
certified stand-alone receivers, and they require registration of the 
receiver/CAM/smartcard combo before decryption is possible.

I don't know if this also is true for DVB-T..
