So you're saying that I could possibly just bypass the capture card completely 
and actually use the cable box as the hdtv capture device if I get one that 
supports firewire?

If this is the case, then does anyone have any recommendations on what 
brand/type of hdtv cable box I should request from Comcast?  Or maybe could I 
buy my own and just make sure I get one that does not encrypt the firewire 
output?

Thanks for the help!
