I'm the OP, and I contacted Novus and asked them to go to check their channels for the 0x02 flag. Here's their response:
"We've tested your instructions on most of our channel line ups and they all seemed to have 0X00 for their CCI category. So please call our Call Center to speak with a representative for assistance in creating a Novus account to set you up with our services, thank you.

Shaw Cable Again Blocks Firewire On Canadian Set-Top Boxes 257
WestCoastSuccess writes with this excerpt: "A year and a half ago, Canada's Shaw Cable began encrypting channels with the '0x02' flag. This flag has the effect of making the IEEE1394 (Firewire) output useless to customers who use third-party PVRs (such as the excellent MythTV, for example). After complaints to the CRTC and Industry Canada about this practice, the encryption flag was dropped on most channels and the Firewire connection again functioned. Until last night, that is."
