It's not explained in the article how these compulsory upgrades are being forced. These are not net enabled devices. Perhaps the idea is that the receiver is no longer for sale and cannot be replaced once it has eventually broken?

Your old processor needs a new battery. it gets damaged. But it was EOL'd a few months ago. No spare parts, no servicing. You need a new one.
