Actually - I have Comcast. I just checked Movieplex, which is channel 
263 here. I just tuned it on MYthTV. I get it just fine.
Checking the ceton - Copy Control Information: "Copy Free" (00)

I have the problem that I cannot get Freeform (formerly ABC Family) 
channel -  ceton shows
Copy Control Information: "One Copy" (0x02)

I have been in negotiations with Comcast over Freeform channel for about 
a month now. The place to go, where I have had it resolved before, is 
the Comcast forums. The customer service phone line people have no clue 
when it comes to this.

Log in with your Comcast email id and password and post a message. 
Eventually one of the Comcast employees may respond.

However if the policy is to protect Movieplex, then maybe it will not 
help. I suppose the fact that I have it unprotected may be a mistake.
