Are the set top boxes for DTH services the same, or have they been designed individually for their own provider?

If they are designed for their own provider, how do they differ, have they been locked?

thats to retain the customer so that once he purchases he will not switch to other operator, ya the STB's are designed in such a way that it cant read any other Smart Card.
