I asked the provider if channels were encrypted. They said only
premiums like HBO, showtime, & skinamax would be. I have only
experimented with a couple of channels on mythtv. I haven't yet built
a complete list of the multicast addresses for all the channels. But I
think I will be able to directly record everything except the premium
channels.<br>

Of course your millage may vary. A different provider could encrypt
everything to force you into renting their STB. Like most cable
providers encrypt 99% of digital cable channels so that you can't use
your own QAM tuner to watch. Though I was able to get unencrypted
pay-per-view advertisements on mine.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/3/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Steven Adeff</b> <<a href="mailto:adeffs.mythtv@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
