A SmartCard is a credit card-sized key with an embedded microchip, which allows subscribers to view encrypted programming . When a viewer orders an encrypted program, a SmartCard is "matched" to that viewer's receiver ID. When the correct SmartCard is inserted into the receiver, an authorization is performed via satellite, and the subscriber will be able to view the requested programming.

WorldTV offers two types of channels: FTA (Free-to-Air) and Encrypted. FTA channels are unscrambled. This means they can be received with a DVB compliant MPEG-2 receiver package. Encrypted channels are scrambled, and usually require a monthly subscription in addition to the home satellite system purchase price. WorldTV offers equipment-subscription packages.
