Hey guys,

So here's the latest. I received a call from a tech on Saturday and I had
the HDHR working in about ten minutes (Success). So I guess this is
consistent with a lot of people's stories that I read. It's a little random
in terms of how it goes, some support people will be able to get you up and
running quicker then others. This person I spoke to was in fact the 4th
tech I had spoken to, before things were working.

My only problem now is that I can not view all my cable channels. I
subscribe to HBO and none of those seem to work at all.  (Basically any the
are marked DRM in the Card Tuner Listings Menu). All other channels (SD and
HD versions) work perfectly, but when I try and change to any HBO channel
the MythTV just goes black and then dies. Strange huh.

So my question is: Does this happen for everyone? I understand that there
is a Copy-Once flag on these channels but I was under the impression they
should be viewable along with my other channels. Also if this is not the
case, how do I get this corrected?

Thanks so much in advance,

Floyd
