1.3 What digital receivers are not 4DTV receivers?
Only General Instrument consumer level receivers are called 4DTV receivers.
G.I. also produces commercial and educational receivers that are able to
process Digicipher II signals, but they are not called 4DTV. This is only
due to the nomenclature used by G.I.

DSS and DBS small dish receivers definitely are not 4DTV receivers. Dish
Network, DirecTV and Bell ExpressVue receivers for example do not process
Digicipher II signals and there for are not 4DTV or Digicipher II.

MPEG 1.5 and MPEG DVB receivers are not 4DTV or Digicipher II.

Although 4DTV receivers have a renewable security slot, this slot currently
serves no purpose. Any receiver that uses a CAM, H-Card or Hu-Card is not a
4DTV receiver.
