The question

What should I do if my intention in buying the receiver, dish, and television is to watch religious channels, but I fear that my children might use them after my death in ways that displease Allah, thus becoming an ongoing sin?

The answer

As long as you acquired these items through lawful means, there is no sin upon you if the heirs use any of them in an impermissible way, for the burden of sin is upon them. We advise you to raise your children on the straight path and religious values, and to warn them against decadent Western behaviors. You are not required to dispose of these means as long as you use them in a permissible way.
