[mythtv-users] Clipped video from Motorola DCT-6200

Folks,

I'm thinking about finally getting around to trying to see if I can
get this to work again.  Before I do, I'm wondering if anyone has this
working?  I'm in the SF South Bay area (Sunnyvale), and Comcast is my
cable provider.  Is it worth trying again, or are all channels 5C
encrypted now anyway?

Thanks,
-Tad
