Bug Description
I had the Comcast guy over today and I got the CableCard version of MythTV installed. Everything went great. The Cable guy seemed really impressed at my rats nest of wires, drop amps, and bare hard drives all over the tile floor. He made some comment about really wanting a DVR like this and I am pretty sure he wasn't being sarcastic.
Anyway, great job, guys! I'm able to watch TV in a way I never imaged with a MythBox. CNN, Discovery Channel, Unicorns HD, they're all there.
But you see, that's the problem. There's something wrong with the Mythbuntu Cable Card driver. I'm able to watch ALL the channels on my cable network including those which I have not subscribed to, all of the premiums, and hardcore illegal-in-three states pornography. What's more, it seems multirec works with the cable card so I am able to record MULTIPLE channels which I am not subscribed to at once. I'm pretty worried that the cable company will get mad about this or something.
So my question is, why did the Mythbuntu devs hack in this back door? I'm going to be really mad if you guys get me in trouble. It's pretty disrespectful of the cable companies trust in you guys. I really think this needs a patch, pronto.

Confirmed. We will get right on repairing this issue. I expect it to be resolved in approx. 2 hours and 20 minutes.
