DVBdream and is this channel legally free?

[49studebaker]

First, I would like to say that I do not want to steal satellite tv. I was scanning
Galaxy 16 and noticed what I thought was a free premium channel. I right clicked on the channel and noticed something located under ECM pids. I then thought this might not be a free channel and I am unintentionally descrambling a channel. See attached image. Does DVBdream automatically descramble channels? If so, how do I turn off this feature. I clicked on several other channels on that same transponder "ESPN", "MSNBC", "CNBC" and those channels do not display. I assume since those channels do not display they are scrambled, which is fine since I do not want to illegally descramble them. I am still unsure if the channel in the image is legally free?
Thanks.

No, DVBdream doesn't descramble anything. The PowerVU channel must be temporarily in the clear. I don't believe there is any sort of hacking going on with PowerVu. So you can watch that channel to your heart's content.

yep. Sometimes they forget to encrypt something. It may show $ but may not be scrambled
