Plus the encrypting Comcast is doing, shouldn't affect me...  Oh wait, this is on cardid 1 - which is my HDHR, not my Prime (with cablecard).

Is there a way for Myth to check against all available tuners if it runs into an encrypted show?  What would be my best course of action to avoid missing recordings?

Comcast are encrypting all channels including local channels, starting
at different dates for each area of the country. My area started being
encrypted last Monday. There will have been a notice to that effect on
the last page of your bill. You will have to trash the QAM tuner and use
cable card or firewire from now on, unfortunately.
