This happened on both Frodo RC3 and and the official Frodo release.
I'm on comcast using an HDHR Prime cable card tuner and all of my channels are flagged copy freely.
I haven't found a pattern to what works and what doesn't but I haven't tried either.
XBMC only updates their version of FFMPEG once per version number. They do this because it takes them about a month to work out all of the bugs when they revise their FFMPEG version. So the version of FFMPEG that is in XBMC Frodo today was likely merged into the main branch a year ago.
