They have moved to signal the STB to disable the firewire output on basic digital channels. I was able to capture a digital stream for the few channels I subscribe to up until recently. With the advent of QAM-256 tuners in TVs and HD cards, I would expect those streams will be encrypted before long (although it could be reason to upgrade my MDP-120 to a 130...) gary ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
