[mythtv-users] Still trying to get Ceton InfiniTV working

[Kevin Calvert]

One additional thing I forgot to mention.

HBO, Showtime, those things, still come over as CCI 02's. I believe that's
the expected limitation with MythTV, correct?

i.e. PlayReady/MCE works with 02's but myth doesn't and hasn't ever.
