You are missing the point of the problem.  Software like Myth will not
even get access to the content to strip/remove/skip/ignore the flag.
The knowledge (i.e. programming specs) needed to get the information
from the HDTV capture card will not be available to a project like Myth
for those very reasons.

Sure, it could be reverse engineered for every device out there but
that's a long hard road.
