Hi, Agreed! But then it wont be a receiver. The original poster said, "I want MythTV to act as the receiver". If it can't decrypt the multimedia stream, or atleast control the STB, all it can do is act like an analog to digital converter for TV. It won't be able to make use of features like DVR using Electronic Programme Guide, or automatic channel selection.
