It's highly likely that the broadcaster is marking the streams as
encrypted when they aren't.

It seems many of the equipment manufacturers didn't read the standards
they were implementing, they merely glanced at them.

It's not really a problem if you control both the broadcast and
receiving end of the stream, you can do what ever you want.
It's a royal pain in the butt for myth tho as it needs to work in
multiple territories who all implemented the same standards in their
own special way :)
