Shoot, the one thing I HATE about my TiVO HD, which I love otherwise, is the fact that the freaking Ethernet is like mid-90s slow when there is no reason on the planet they didn't built in Gigabit Ethernet, other than being freaking cheap. And wanting you to not move your content around much.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eric]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2009 11:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Firewire's future on DVRs is up for debate]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/firewires-future-on-dvrs-is-up-for-debate/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/firewires-future-on-dvrs-is-up-for-debate/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm probably as much of a Firewire fanboy as possible, I mean heck, I still have my 1st generation Firewire and Mac only iPod, but in terms of DVR usage, I can see Firewire going.  I don't have a settop box myself, but Leicaman confirmed what I figured, that the provider and/or makers block that port from being useful.  It seems like now a days, users need to rely on things like TivoToGo or dedicated Media Centers to be able to transfer their content around.  I chose the later and use a combination of EyeTV, Quicktime and FrontRow for my media recording and watching habits.<br><br>-Brian]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian Kaempen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2009 1:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Firewire's future on DVRs is up for debate]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/firewires-future-on-dvrs-is-up-for-debate/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/firewires-future-on-dvrs-is-up-for-debate/</guid><description><![CDATA[i use the firewire on my comcast box all the time.  works great with my computer and the drivers i use]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hexideciml]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2009 1:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Firewire's future on DVRs is up for debate]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/firewires-future-on-dvrs-is-up-for-debate/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/firewires-future-on-dvrs-is-up-for-debate/</guid><description><![CDATA[My TiVo HD does not have a Firewire port.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Travis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2009 5:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Firewire's future on DVRs is up for debate]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/firewires-future-on-dvrs-is-up-for-debate/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/firewires-future-on-dvrs-is-up-for-debate/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've used the firewire port on my Comcast DVR once, to record a live HD broadcast of something, I can't remember what it was. <br><br>However I no longer have cable, I rock OTA and an old Dell P4 tower as my FreeNAS server, with a PS3 in the living room and an old xbmc xbox in my downstairs.
