They can at "anytime" change that ability as well with a simple update and unless you are in the minority of folks who know how to go around that you'd be SOL. Just like cable tv as well as C-Band satellite sellers/buyers went full encrypted many years ago to stop the piracy. My neighbor many years ago had a BUD (big ugly dish) in his yard and it was great back in the 80's but he used it as a bird bath for years after.
Best part was watching the live network news feeds in between commercials.
