After several tries (and quoting the FCC mandate), I finally got the box. I have been able to hook it up to my Mac and record transport streams (non-encrypted of course.) I use it as a backup to my eyetv 500 when there are two shows I want to record simultaneously. Getting the box was a pain though.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jay]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 1st 2006 5:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Does your cable box have a FireWire port?]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/02/01/does-your-cable-box-have-a-firewire-port/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/02/01/does-your-cable-box-have-a-firewire-port/</guid><description><![CDATA[I also have the Motorola DCT-6412 dual-tuner DVR from Comcast. It has two firewire ports on the back, both of which appear to be functional. Pulling content from the ports is a snap with my PowerBook and Mac OS X. (Thanks, VirualDVHS!)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Adam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 1st 2006 5:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Does your cable box have a FireWire port?]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/02/01/does-your-cable-box-have-a-firewire-port/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/02/01/does-your-cable-box-have-a-firewire-port/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wouldn't be able to tell you, I have Bright House too.  I can't wait until Verizon rolls out their IPTV in my neighborhood, I already have FiOS directly to my house, no piggybacking on phone or cable lines from the front of the neighborhood to my house like in some places around here.  The only problem is Bright House seems to have made some agreement with my homeowners association to be the only cable company in the nieghborhood and basic cable is included in our homeowners fees.  Of course we have way more than basic cable so it's sort of redundant, but do ou think there's still a chance that I could have IPTV from Verizon in my home any time soon?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike Jenkins]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 2nd 2006 7:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Does your cable box have a FireWire port?]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/02/01/does-your-cable-box-have-a-firewire-port/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/02/01/does-your-cable-box-have-a-firewire-port/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm in Phoenix, when I called Cox and asked for the box they pretended not to know what I was talking about. I say pretended because when I told them that the FCC mandated that they provide it they suddenly 'remembered' reading something about that 'new' requirement.  Then they told me that they could offer the HD box with firewire OR the HD DVR with firewire deactivated.  You couldn't get both.  Technically, I suppose, this means that they have complied with the FCC ruling.  I'm going to get an additional HD box soon and hook it up to my mac via firewire and check it out.  Amazing that they knew the details of the firewire availability so well after having forgotten it so thoroughly only moments before.<br><br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Wickersham]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 3rd 2006 1:42PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
