I have a Pace TDC 775 HD DVR from Bresnan. The firewire port on the back of the box is actually active and functional as a digital video output. My media center PC is a Mac Mini. I can use the firewire port to capture video and not have to worry about any of this stuff.
Better yet, the box has a functional eSATA port on it so I can expand drive capacity indefinitely!
Sure it has its quirks but it works and I can capture video from it in full HD quality.
