[mythtv-users] firewire can't get all HDTV channels

Well I successfully got Myth setup to work with my SA3250HD cable box's
firewire port and I can receive HD content and change channels for the
following stations:

espn, discovery, nbc, fox

but I cannot get

pbs, cbs, abc

through firewire. I have firewire ports on my television and those channels
work fine so I don't think they are encrypting those channels. I can see the
channel changes being made on the cable box to go to those channels so I
know that it is going to the right station. I tested on a lower level using
test-mpeg2 on those channels and I get no data but if I use  sa3250ch to
change the channel to say nbc and run test-mpeg2 again it works fine. I have
no idea why it is working on some and not others. Does anyone have any
ideas?
