Is this unencoded and encoded, or are there other terms in use?

Explanation:
I believe your initial hunch is correct.

See Google:

And, specifically:

http://www.howstuffworks.com/tv4.htm

The cable in cable TV contains a large number of channels that are transmitted on the cable. Your cable provider could simply modulate the different cable TV programs onto all the normal frequencies and transmit that to your house via the cable. Then the tuner in your TV would accept the signal and you would not need a cable box. Unfortunately that approach would make theft of cable services very easy, so the signals are encoded in funny ways. The set-top box is a decoder. You select the channel on it, it decodes the right signal and then does the same thing a VCR does to transmit the signal to the TV on channel 3 or 4.

Large-dish satellite antennas pick off unencoded or encoded signals being beamed to earth by satellites. First you point the dish to a particular satellite and then you select a particular channel it is transmitting. The set-top box receives the signal, decodes it if necessary and then sends it to channel 3 or 4.

Small-dish satellite systems are digital. The TV programs are encoded in MPEG-2 format and transmitted to earth. The set-top box does a lot of work to decode MPEG-2, then converts it to a standard analog TV signal and sends it to your TV on channel 3 or 4.

Clear and encrypted TV broadcasting.
Encrypted can also be translated by "coded" but personally I prefer encrypted.
