I'm interested in finding a digital cable receiver that will allow me
to stream (via firewire) directly to my MythTV box. I just called
WOW and they said that they provide Scientific Atlanta 3100/3200
boxes. They seemed somewhat vague about *exactly* what they
provided. If I get really serious, I'll try to pin them down, but
that isn't my question...
I notice that people talk about 3250's as having firewire ports.
But, what the guy from WOW said was that they had to license these
ports in order to use them and that WOW does not license them. The
bottom line (at least according to him) is that there is no way to
use a firewire port on a receiver even if your receiver has such a port.
Does this sound right? Anybody with WOW (ideally in SE Michigan :-)
care to comment?
Thanks a bunch if you can confirm (or even better, refute) this
information.
The people @ WOW are woefully wrong. Search this list at
gossamer-threads (google search mythtv & gossamer-threads) for FCC and
Firewire, youll find posts linking to the FCCs requirement of firewire
ports as of July '04.
Perhaps wrong about not enabling the ports, but they are right about the
ports not working unless they enable them. ;)
