</div>What about the copy protection flags like copy-once and copy-freely?<br>
I thought the PRIME would allow mythtv to record the<br>
copy-freely-flagged shows but not the copy-once shows? This means<br>
channels that are encrypted and copy-protected copy-freely would be<br>
recordable. Now the question is how to determine which channels or<br>
shows use the copy-freely or copy-once flags.<br>
