Germany Bans Al-Manar: So What?

It's nice to see Germany taking a stand against Al-Manar by banning Hezbollah's TV station. But Deutsche Welle makes me wonder how much the ban really matters:

The ban will prevent al-Manar from advertising or fundraising in Germany and block the reception of the channel in German hotels. Private homes, however, will still be able to tune into the station.

UPDATE Nov. 26: The German ban has yet to be implemented. John Rosenthal explains why it's utterly meaningless.
