As in Myth being unable to receive protected content. Something by
design external to MythTV.
You ran into DRM harm.
Wherein, only certain, protected content may be viewed upon the blessed
by those protecting.
Sorry to say it that way, but that *is* the way it is.
MythTV has no funds to play along with the protected content crowd. No
money to pay for content protection, no money for crypto, no money at
all. Only the honest work of those who wish to code for what exists.
If I hit the lottery tomorrow, I'll grant that to the MythTV community.
Regrettably, I don't waste my finite funds on such  a worthless endeavor..
