Well thanks for your help...  It looks like I wouldn't be able to get much
because I wanted to get ExpressVU and was hoping to use my subbed CAM to get
the channels I pay for.  Doesn't look like this would work or maybe I'm
missing something.  Other options seem to include softcams but this raises
ethical questions (well, unless I only decrypt the channels I pay for) and
don't seem to be available for Myth's DVB support anyway (VDR seems to have
one but it's not listed in their "official" list of plugins)

Thanks!
