In getting a 6200 from Comcast I learned that there are two hi-def receivers they offer. The 6200 and 5100. The 5100 lacks FireWire and it took awhile to find an outlet in town that had the 6200. Comcast doesn't discriminate between the 5100 and 6200 when you ask for a hi-def receiver so you have to be very specific about which one you want. Ideally, you should go pick it up so you can make sure it's the right one. Once I found a local outlet that had a 6200 I just had to go pick it up. I've been capturing via the 6200's FireWire for a couple months now and have had no problems.

I'm in the atlanta area, and considering rebuilding my mythbox to use
the motorola 6200 series cable boxes via firewire, and my question is
this: has anyone in the atlanta area done this through comcast? Every
time I call to ask about whether or not I can request / buy the cable
box I get someone with the IQ of a brick or who is determined to be
useless.
