B*st*rds.

The cable company has just joined the Axis of Evil, otherwise composed of
insurance companies, certain lawyers, politicians, and used-car salesmen.

Why would they do this?  The same channels were encrypted on the firewire
output as on the raw cable.  It p*ss*s me off, though, because I can no
longer record two ATSC channels at once.
