Yes, the secret password is TWC.  They(*) copy protect almost all content
(the exceptions being OTA and a few local (public service) franchise
channels, and usually cspan, etc.).  WMC (and TiVo) implement the
required DRM to allow them to record TWC content.  MythTV does
not.

(*) While each franchise is different, corporate policy is claimed to
be to set copy-once on all channels other than OTA (and friends).
