Ryan, may I ask how you figured out the multicast addresses? I'd like
to see if I can get the same thing working with my Surewest fiber
service.

I asked the provider if channels were encrypted. They said only
premiums like HBO, showtime, & skinamax would be. I have only
experimented with a couple of channels on mythtv. I haven't yet built a
complete list of the multicast addresses for all the channels. But I
think I will be able to directly record everything except the premium
channels.
Of course your millage may vary. A different provider could encrypt
everything to force you into renting their STB. Like most cable
providers encrypt 99% of digital cable channels so that you can't use
your own QAM tuner to watch. Though I was able to get unencrypted
pay-per-view advertisements on mine.

a little off topic...
Are you able to record any channel or is there some level of DRM
like
with the firewire enabled cableboxen?
Thanks!
