Norwegian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications)
Norwegian term or phrase: plombere
Context: television licence fees. "Dersom NRK ønsker det, skal det også være adgang til å plombere mottaker og/eller antenneinntak."

It doesn't seem as if "sealing" is used in this sense. Anyone know the correct term?

Explanation:
I would interpret it as this, altså "sperre".

I'm sorry, Brigid - once again I didn't read your comment carefully enough. You already considered the receiver... In any case, I'm pretty convinced that that's what they are talking about. I don't think they have the technology to send out unique signals to each TV set, and hence it would be impossible to block the signal.

Det er det nok lisenskontrollørene som gjør... Se http://nrk.no/informasjon/lisens/1.2843224 (står ikke her at det er de som plomberer, men de har folk som fysisk tusler rundt og kontrollerer, så forundrer meg ikke om det er dem)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Do you interpret the sentence to mean that the signal would be blocked "sperret", or that NRK could physically seal (plombere) the receiver and/or aerial inlet? I interpret it to say the latter, but to actually mean the former of these.

Asker: That's okay, Thomas. But what I find puzzling here is that they would have the resources to go around to the offending households to physically block/seal their televisions/aerials...

Asker: Thanks for your input, Thomas. I think I'm going to have to take this up with the client because I think the use of "plombere" here leaves too much room for different interpretations. Will note here if I get a response.
