Up through 51L, no encryption has been used, except on the military
flights. Many people have monitored the shuttle on simple police scanner
type radios. 

I much rather prefer using my satillite dish though, to copy the NASA 
video feeds. There you get 24 hr/day mission coverage with all downlink
video. Heaven to a space junkie like moi!
