I posted the links earlier in this discussion, but here they are again: For the overall web page: http://www.fcc.gov/dtv/
Scroll down to: "10/9/03, 9/10/03 FCC Eases Digital TV Transition for Consumers." The actual PDF is: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-03-225A1.pdf I have talked to my cable company (Time Warner, Columbus) and supposedly someone will be dropping off a couple of boxes with firewire ports next week. However, my guess they are confusing HDMI or SATA ports with the firewire. I want to give them the chance to actually drop off the write equipment. What bugs me about this whole thing is that I am willing to pay for additional channels. I want to pay for the cable boxes if they have firewire support. I am almost positive the reason they don't offer the boxes with firewire is to force you to use their DVR. -joe --- Lane Schwartz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 18 Feb 2005 00:43:01 -0800, Jarod Wilson > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Thursday 17 February 2005 18:25, David Madsen > wrote: > > > > 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 > > > > > > This is incorrect.
