The device itself does no decoding at all. It can not legally do that
because it does not have a cablecard. All decoding happens inside the
STB and the STB outputs the stream via firewire just as MythTV users
grab the stream via firewire. This box is targeted at commercial
customers and I assume it is up to the commercial customer to
negotiate with the cable company to have all the required channels
available without restriction on the firewire port.
