Rogers encrypts them. So you need authorization
to receive them (ie. pay them money). In the US,
local HDTV networks are almost always unencrypted
since it's your "right" to receive them if you
pay for the SD versions. Not so with Rogers.
I just stumbled upon this and was curious if it is a right for those in the US? I have Adelphia analog and digital silver cable (SD only). The Scientific Atlanta SD box decrypts all of the SD ones I pay for but I do have an ATSC/QAM that I use for OTA HD. By plugging my cable into there, I can get the "Music Choice" channels, PPV previews, and HDNet and HDNet Movie (In HD). They seem to scramble all of the locals though. Not that I care, they are OTA, just wondering...
I know this thread isn't about Adelphia, but as an update to the post above I re-scanned the other day and can get WGRZ, WIVB, WKBW, WNED, Music Choice (SD), HDNet and HDNet Movie.
