Refers to services offered in addition to the basic service package, in unscrambled form and on a discretionary basis, often using the "negative option" marketing technique - licensee delivers the basic service and discretionary tier(s) to subscriber's premise in non-encrypted form as a package deal, and the onus is on the subscriber to advise the licensee should he/she not wish to take the discretionary tier(s). Should the subscriber opt out of the discretionary tier(s), the licensee blocks (traps out) only the discretionary signals (usually located on 8 consecutive channels in the mid-band) to that household through a trapping device (a negative trap) located outside the subscriber's household, thus requiring a "truck roll". This encryption system is beneficial to a cable licensee only if there is a high penetration in discretionary service subscription. 2, record 1, English, - low%20cost%20tier

Se dit des services offerts en sus du service de base, en clair et de façon facultative, souvent employant la technique de marketing «abonnement par défaut» - le titulaire livre en clair, et en un bloc, le service de base ainsi qu'un volet facultatif à l'abonné, laissant la responsabilité à ce dernier de l'aviser s'il ne veut pas le volet facultatif. Si l'abonné décide de ne pas prendre le volet facultatif, le titulaire filtrera (bloquera), à l'entrée du domicile dudit abonné, seulement les signaux facultatifs (offerts normalement sur 8 canaux consécutifs de la bande moyenne), à l'aide d'un interrupteur (un filtre négatif) situé à l'extérieur du domicile de l'abonné, nécessitant la visite d'un technicien. Ce système d'encodage est avantageux seulement pour les systèmes ayant une forte pénétration d'abonnements aux services facultatifs. 1, record 1, French, - service%20de%20base%20%C3%A9largi
