I'm glad to hear your experience on this, it makes me feel a little less
like the grass is greener on the other side of the - err - satellite...???

 

The radio has a serial number, the satellite company knows the serial
numbers of all of the units that paid the subscription fee. If the fee is
not paid, they tell the satellite to not include the serial number in its
scrambling algorithm. When this happens, your receiver does not receive
anymore.
