[mythtv-users] CCI=none vs. CCI=any SF Bay Area

Coincidentally with discovering the HD Homerun Prime firmware update 
breaking my Prime Update Script, Comcast here in the San Francisco Bay 
Area recently moved a bunch of the Clear QAM broadcast channels around. 
Last night, I had a bunch of broken recordings on my Classic HD 
Homeruns. Scanning the Clear QAM channels on my Prime:

$ hdhomerun_config 1310D999 set /tuner2/vchannel 704
$ hdhomerun_config 1310D999 get /tuner2/vstatus
vch=704 name=KROND auth=subscribed cci=none cgms=none

It looks to me like Comcast has changed the CCI flag from what was 
previously reported as "any" to what is now reported as "none." Isn't 
this a problem for Myth? I think this is the difference between the flag 
being set to 0xff (copy any) and not being present at all and that Myth 
has a problem if it entirely missing.

I'm currently running the 0.24.3-283 MythTV packages from ATrpms. Some 
0.25 packages are available but unfortunately 0.26 isn't.

One, can anyone confirm this Myth behavior and if there is a fix?

Two, can anyone here in the Bay Area using a Clear QAM tuner on Comcast 
confirm this change?

Thanks,
Kirk Bocek
