I don't think that the classic hdhr even sees CCI, isn't that information
part of the stuff that the cable card gets from the head end?  My guess is
that Comcast has started encrypting those stations as part of moving them.
It may have been accidental, so you may want to complain and see if they do
anything about it.

If you do a scan on the classic hdhomerun, do those show up as encrypted?
