Just to be sure that everyone reading this understands what we're talking about... as I understand it, the firewire ports on these boxes don't output HD - the FCC requires that everything they output is downgraded to 480p (ED). (I read this on eff.org, but can't find the link at the moment) Also, only cable companies are required to provide a box with the firewire output - sattelite providers are exempt Dave
