That is correct. Even if a show is broadcast unencrypted, if it is not
copy-freely, the tuner will refuse to send it to MythTV. There have
been issues in the past where exactly this happened. CableCard users on
Windows MCE were disrupted mid-recording where their provider
accidentally enabled copy protection on a broadcast channel.
