dtvsignalmonitor.cpp ("PMT says program %1 is encrypted"), not sure if that
is the chain to follow as well/instead. Note: I am hard-coding, via
hdhrstreamhandler.cpp, my HDHR's to use the ATSC tuner as I was getting
Unknown tuner type 0x2000 by just modding the channel setup in the DB.

And to Ben--sorry for the confusion, I meant to say I'm trying to use the
Prime in CableCard mode but using Myth's ATSC tuner (channel 92-5804)
instead of the OCUR tuner (vchannel 727) (and ignoring any "PMT encrypted"
flags). I know the Prime works to decrypt cable if outfitted with a
properly activated CC, even without a channel list. I've been watching a
few non-clear-QAM channels using hdhomerun_config_gui and VLC.
