Thus, the Commission adopted rules that would permit MVPDs to restrict the attachment or use of equipment to their systems where electronic or physical harm would be caused by the attachment or operation of such equipment. The Commission was clear however, that ``[t]hese standards [set forth in Section 76.1203] shall be used only to prevent attachment of navigation devices that raise reasonable and legitimate concerns of electronic or physical harm or theft of service, and not as a means to unreasonably restrict the use of navigation devices obtained from a source other than the MVPD.''

  • requirement of alternative sources of navigation devices, we mandate that subscribers have a right to attach any compatible navigation device to an MVPD system, regardless of its source, subject to the proviso that the attached equipment not cause harmful interference, injury to the system or compromise legitimate access control mechanisms. This rule is found in Sections 76.1201 (Right to Attach), 76.1203 (Incidence of Harm), and 76.1209 (Theft of Service). This rule makes clear to subscribers that an MVPD is not the exclusive purveyor of navigation devices for its system. We believe, as in the telephone context, that the right to attach leads to a broader market for equipment used with MVPD systems.

  • to attach and use them on the network, except, according to Section 76.1201, ``. . . where electronic or physical harm would be caused by the attachment or operation of such devices or such devices may be used to assist or are intended or designed to assist in the unauthorized reception of service.'' In addition, Circuit City argues that Section 76.1203 spells out the limits on contractual constraints, even when they involve instances of harm to the network or security. Circuit City cites language in the Navigation Devices Order that states that ``[t]hese standards shall . . . not [be used] as a means to unreasonably restrict the use of navigation devices obtained from a source other than the MVPD.''
