How to remove HDCP encryption from Dish Network DVR to copy videos to my PC?

I recently tried to copy some movies from my Dish Network DVR to my PC computer like I've been doing for over a year now. Some of the files I opened with DGIndex (which I use to demux the streams) were solid green and gave a strange aspect ratio. I then tried opening them with MPlayer and it refused to play them. So hoping this was a glitch I put my DVR back together, recorded some new movies and got the same thing. After doing some digging I found this from Dish Network:

Which basically states that Dish Network enabled new HDCP encryption for HBO and Cinemax. Is this the end of me saving my HBO movies or has anyone heard of or know a workaround?

Any help would be appreciated

Dish Network uses Nagravision encryption. So you can use a DVB receiver with HD and PVR (like EZY-BOX 8000, Clarke-Tech HD 5000, DreamBox 8000...) or DVB PCI card on your computer to record video directly. You will need a CAM module to watch encrypted channels.

Satellite providers in North America force CAM modules to be married to their receivers only. When someone subscribes to Dish Network they will be issued a receiver and a card. Upon activation, the card is then married to that receiver and it will refuse to work with anything else including DVB cards. It is illegal to try and circumvent this "marriage" (of course a lot of people still do it).

There's no CAM module for Nagravision2 and there never will be. So indeed there's no way to legally use your subscriber card outside the official receiver. But you can use the "NewCS" emulator cam + official card for Nagravision 2.

HDCP is only an encryption in HDMI/DVI link (there is no HDCP on TS stream). There should be some flag which will introduce on TS stream to activate the HDCP encryption.
