I'll see what I get next week. I called Comcast today and requested a box that
actually has a firewire port. The person I talked to had no clue what
firewire or ieee 1394 was, but was thankful when I pointed her to the FCC
docs that say they have to provide a box with firewire output if a customer
requests it. Apparently, not many are...
It'll be interesting to see the differences in what I can get from the cable
box's firewire port and what I can get hooking the Air2PC card I just ordered
to the same cable feed...
