Last I checked was some time ago, but at the time it was all
encrypted on the wire except for OTA channels. There was no analog
other than a single channel telling you what phone number to call
to get a decoder box. And, firewire output was not encrypted. But
there isn't much to watch on cable television anymore so we just
have one box hooked up to a HD-PVR for recording the occasional
history channel program.
