Dale, right you are, but with one exception. HBO original movies and series which are destined to be sold as DVD's.

----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----
HBO and others like them have no encryption requirements on the movies they
buy. Those movies are considered of little further value to the retail
markets, i.e., the value per showing is so little that there is no further
diminishment from endless copying and there is no other window or market
that can be exploited that is not already sold or pre-sold. Pay per view is
the window where there is still some potential value left in the carcass,
though it is after DVD release, but the real reason for this heavy
encryption effort is for very new movies (or even concurrent with theaters)
and special productions that are just hours out of the theaters and not yet
into the pre-recorded markets.
