Since last April, cable companies were required BY LAW to offer a Firewire
capable HD-STB.
Also, any NEW HD-STB's bought after 1Jul05 are required to have Firewire and
DVI/HDMI.
Local OTA should be marked as COPY FREELY.
Subscription and Premium Digital Channels are usually COPY ONCE....to a "5C"
copy protect conforming device (not a PC).
PPV are presumably COPY NEVER.
So, if they broke it, complain up the chain of responsibility...and if that
doesn't work, file a complaint with FCC.

Interesting. They have moved to signal the STB to disable the firewire
output on basic digital channels. I was able to capture a digital stream
for the few channels I subscribe to up until recently. With the advent
of QAM-256 tuners in TVs and HD cards, I would expect those streams will
be encrypted before long (although it could be reason to upgrade my MDP-120
to a 130...)
