<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">The answer is both. If the stream was not encrypted, the HDHomerun
would not be required to honor the copy-once flag as it is only
required to honor the flags when using the cable card to decode the
stream. The stream is therefore encrypted, and it has its copy
flags set.<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

MythTV has nothing to do with the copy flags, which is why the
HDHomerun is not permitted to transmit anything other than "Copy
Freely" programs to it.<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Clarifying...<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">First you have Access Control. Channels are usually encrypted on the cable system and the CableCARD is authorized to decrypt the channels that you pay for.</div><br></div><div>Then you have Content Protection (CCI). Each stream is flagged as Copy-Freely, Copy-Once, or Copy-Never. Copy-Once means the show must be protected end to end (including encrypted on disk and HDCP encrypted to the TV). Copy-Never means the show can be paused for up to 90 minutes but cannot be recorded. It is rare but possible for a show to have other restriction flags set.<br><br></div><div>When you tell the HDHomeRun PRIME to tune a channel it will ask the card to authorize it (Access Control). The card returns the authorization result and the level of content-protection (if any) that is required.<br></div><br></div><div></div><div>For Copy-Freely channels the video is decrypted by the card and delivered to the HDHomeRun. The HDHomeRun streams unencrytped to MythTV.<br></div><br></div>For Copy-Once or Copy-Never channels the video is decrypted by the card and re-encrytped for delivery to the HDHomeRun. The HDHomeRun decrypts the video and re-encrypts it to a CableLabs approved DRM scheme (WMDRM10 or DTCP-IP).When streaming to a DVR such as WMC, WMC decrypts the stream and re-encrypts it suitable for storage on disk. For playback it decrypts the stream, decodes the video, and encrypts it for delivery to the TV/monitor.<br></div><div><br></div><div>HDHomeRun policy is to stream unencrypted everything that can be under cable industry rules.<br><br></div><div>If you have not already done so you should install the 20150113 (or newer) firmware as this eliminates content-protection triggered by CGMS flags.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Nick<br></div></div>
