But speaking of port availability, Firewire is enabled on my
Scientific Atlanta 8300HD HD DVR. I was able to connect my Macbook
and capture data. The data is encrypted so I can't do anything with
it but it bodes well for the potential of using firewire to connect to
HD display.
That's good to hear! I've hestiated to allow anything that I _really_
want to watch accumulate on the DVR for fear of loosing it in a power
outage, HD failure, etc. If I could back up the files, with some
confidence that restoring them would allow the DVR to play them...it
would make me feel much better....

As an aside -- I run my 8300HD with an external sata drive that
doubled my store time. Just be sure to use a sata2 cable.
