The hacked DirecTv HD receiver (http://www.169time.com) is NOT supported by Myth. It does not use a standard protocol but would require a Myth dev to customize the "recording" process to talk to it. No such customization has been done to date, to my knowledge. > HD support in mythtv for anything other than OTA is sorely lacking > and > limited.

There are provisions to encrypt broadcast over CABLE. The Broadcast Flag is a bit that, when set, is supposed to tell downstream devices to not allow the content to be saved in the open. My personal opinion: Use Myth to snag recordings over the air. If satellite/cable people don't want us to have their signals, oblige them by not signing up. Frankly, TV is a giant wasteland anyway and we'd all be better off if we turned it off and read a book. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
