Sorry for the top post. You can, if you bang on them long enough and wave the law in their face, get a firewire enabled box but all you will be able to receive is the local OTA content. Here in Rochester anything in the digital package is blocked. As far as TW is concerned, the only option for capturing all content is to rent their SA HD-DVR box which is a miserable device. Search the web for all the people who bitch about the box and its tendancy to not record what you tell it to.

They told me they don't provide any enabled firewire ports due to copyright laws. I thought they had to provide one if it was requested due to some other law? Does anyone on here have Time Warner and successfully gotten a firewire HD box from them? If so, how did you get them to give it to you? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as these morons are really starting to get to me. Thanks in advance.
