I used a packet sniffer called ettercap.<br><a href="http://ettercap.sourceforge.net/">http://ettercap.sourceforge.net/</a><br>I had to plug the sniffing computer into the switch with my modem/router/STB to see the packets. I could only get a single ip address from the modem (used by the router). So the sniffing computer couldn't access the network there. But it could still watch the traffic.

<div></div>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><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>
