Sorry guys, late reply on this thread.

Perhaps this has been already beaten to death in the past, but is it simply
not possible for Myth to be modified to adhere to the DRM rules such that
users like myself? Charter is pretty tight with their "Copy Free" channels - I
can't even record AMC HD "The Walking Dead" which is a real bummer! Or is this
just the usual paranoia about OSS that if they make it possible for Myth to
deal with DRM that people will find a way to circumvent it since they have
source code access?

It seems to me that since I pay good money for my expanded cable lineup I
should be able to use it how I want - within the legal limits, of course. Now
if only my elected representative was on the FCC oversight committee and I
could convince him to run Myth at his house... ;-)

Thanks,
Bill
