According to Jared Wilson, HD-PVR and FiOS STB work well using the IR Blaster. <br><br>I can watch, record, but haven't gotten the IR Blaster on the HD-PVR work yet.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 3:32 PM, Dan Wilga <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mythtv-users2@dwilga-linux1.amherst.edu">mythtv-users2@dwilga-linux1.amherst.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I think you are referring to the fact that Comcast got a waiver to<br>
allow them encrypt their extended basic channels without the use of a<br>
cable card. The FCC mandated all cable providers only use cable cards<br>
for decryption in set top boxes. Recently when switching to all<br>
digital, Comcast had to give their analog subscribers digital set top<br>
boxes for free. Since they had to give them out for free they went<br>
super cheap and used boxes that can't do the standard encryption so<br>
Comcast was having to send everything in the clear. They got a waver<br>
to allow them to use another simpler type of encryption that these<br>
free boxes can handle. So they are now in the process encrypting all<br>
of the the extended basic channels again. This is a separate issue<br>
from the OTA broadcast channels. Those are still supposed to be in the<br>
clear.<br>

And, in some markets (like mine), they are providing the SD versions of OTA channels in the clear but encrypting the HD versions. Grrr...<font color="#888888"></font><br></blockquote></div><font color="#888888"></font>
