My experience is with the HDHR Prime.  Myth is unable to do anything with
DRM'ed channels, but qualified DLNA frontends can play DRM'ed streams.
 Sony's PS3 is the only DLNA client I'm aware of which can play channels
such as HBO, but there may be others out there too.  Of course, this means
you're unable to time-shift with this approach, but I find it a reasonable
trade-off for the one or two shows that I care about on these channels.

Searching for "DTCP-IP Enabled Players" should yield the appropriate
results for watching DRM'ed channels with the Prime.
