</div>That is correct. Even if a show is broadcast unencrypted, if it is not<br>
copy-freely, the tuner will refuse to send it to MythTV. There have<br>
been issues in the past where exactly this happened. CableCard users on<br>
Windows MCE were disrupted mid-recording where their provider<br>
accidentally enabled copy protection on a broadcast channel.<br>

I assume that this is mandated by the CableCard folks, so SiliconDust isn't allowed to test encrypted-ness (yeah, I know)? They're forced to just respect the flags?<br>
