There is some value in stricter control - remember the "split NIT" stuff that took out some of the ON digital boxes (understandable as it was first gen) and more notably the SetPal based boxes, and a software update could not be forthcoming as they'd already gone bust. As compared to (if I remember correctly) Panasonic DVD recorders which did have the same problem but could be upgraded - I seem to remember having to burn a CD to do it.
I do hope that existing Freeview/Freesat devices are included in any rollout though.
