The context does not mention Canal Digital or encrypted channels specifically. However, it states that channel availability on satellites and transponders can change, and updates to the receiver or software may be required. It also mentions the use of smart cards to decrypt Pay TV channels. Therefore, if channels become encrypted and are no longer viewable, it may not be necessary to replace the decoder immediately. Instead, updating the software or checking compatibility with the smart card may resolve the issue. Replacing the decoder should only be considered if it no longer supports required updates or decryption methods.

Answer: No, not necessarily. Try updating software or checking smart card compatibility first.
