The FCC's rulings and requirements mean nothing here in Canada, which can be both fortunate (broadcast flag) and unfortunate (firewire on cable boxes). While the 3250HD does have firewire ports, they are firmware-disabled by Rogers, and I doubt that will change anytime soon unless the CRTC forces them to. Given the CRTC's past and present record regarding the change to HD, I wouldn't hold my breath.
I'm tempted to dump Rogers completely and move to a completely free system (via broadcast NTSC and ATSC channels).
