Yeesh, no need to get sarcastic...

This is only my third box with firewire ports. I had the Motorola DCT-6412 from Comcast in two different markets. Both of those had functional firewire ports as well but a number of people reported that theirs were diabled. I guess whether or not they are actually enabled depends on the market you are in. Point me at the law that says they MUST be enabled. I have not heard of that one...

I was just saying that if you don't mind capturing in real time it is a fairly painless way to get full quality video.

For a long time firewire was the only way to get digital video between devices. The ports on these DVRs were actually designed to be used with Digital VHS decks. Some early HD displays had firewire ports on them as well but that seems to have disappeared now that we have DVI and HDMI.
