Yes, you can watch encrypted channels, if you have a valid subscription card for the channels you want to watch. MediaPortal does NOT support softcams and will never support them! See this thread for some more details. Furthermore you need a TV card with CI that is properly supported. Currently only 2 kinds of cards are confirmed to be working with CI. Others might also work but that still needs to be tested thorougly. See ?Supported TV-Cards to find out which cards support a common interface for channel decryption.
