Even these are channels that are broadcast over the air and they are
encrypted on firewire, then that is in violation of FCC rules.
Contacting the cable company should get that problem resolved relative
quickly from what I've heard. Of course, once you get them looking at
the issue, you run the risk they may correct the other issue and lock
down the stuff that the FCC doesn't mandate they leave open. :)
