Boldly, it's about the technology n features both. But quite understandable fact, if its Android, they will have flexibility to lock it as they do by removing tp add option or lock out if used without smart card. But the fact is, they already have boxes which have connectivity for both sat n LAN with CI as well as card slot. Sent from my Redmi 3S using Tapatalk |
