[mythtv-users] Firewire can record channels that Homerun Prime Cannot

[Peter Bennett (cats22)]

There are new rules at play here.
A recent standards change causes the cci "unrestricted" setting to pass
through as "none", with cgms flags in play. If cgms is set to
"protected-copyonce" you cannot record that channel.
If you are using homerun prime firmware 20140604 you are OK, it is
ignoring the cgms flags.
Evidently that is a bug, earlier versions of the firmware as well as the
newest version 20141024beta2 do not ignore the cgms flag.
I have firmware 20141024beta2. I now have USA network and FX (maybe
others also) showing like this:
vch=763 name=USAHD auth=subscribed cci=none cgms=protected-copyonce
I can no longer record or watch those channels with Homerun Prime.
I can still watch and record them through mythtv with Firewire from the
cable box. I wonder how long that will continue to work.
