"The other change we're glad didn't take forever to become a reality is the
one that stated that even Copy Freely content had to be transmitted
securely, which meant that Windows 7 Media Center was the only way to watch
any CableCARD tuner stuff, and while there isn't much encrypted QAM content
out there marked Copy Freely, MythTV and SageTV fans will have access to at
least some premium HD content."
Since Silicon Dust uses MythTV internally, will this capability make it onto
the public release roadmap? Personally I care, as I'm one of the lucky ones
where my Comcast system has all of my digital tier flagged Copy Freely (I
don't subscribe to any Premiums, which I presume are locked down), which I
can get through STB firewire. I'll mention here that I've heard they are
flagged Free for compatibility with Tivo's capability, since they have some
kind of working relationship with Comcast, but haven't found anything
definitely authoritative to confirm this. The implementation can vary
greatly by your particular head end-YMMV.
