<div>Your TV is able to decrypt the signal as most displays can. This "luxury" is not extended to capture cards because we're all criminals just trying to record TV and sell it for a profit.</div></div><br>

<div>Sigh, of course. So what does checking "Unencrypted channels only" do when I scan for channels? I assumed that it filtered out the unencrypted channels.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there anyway around it? If I get a cable box, then I am limited to the channel that the box is on, and thus only able to record the one digital channel, neh?</div>
