Re: [TV] The 1394 (Firewire) ports DO work on FIOS I have recorded shows from DiscoveryHD and other national HD shows without any issues. Here is what I did. Record the shows to the on-board DVR, replay the shows from the DVR, record the replay to my computer. Works out great!
Of course, my experience has been thorugh the Comcast Motorola box and not the Verizon Motorola box. I am eagerly awaiting for FiOS TV service in my area. |

Yeah, with Comcast in the past, I was able to record everything, but one day I think they finally enabled the 5C encryption and was no longer able to do it.
I am sure one of us will give it a try and see if we can record from a DVR'ed program to our computer. My bet is that it still will not work, as we have not eliminated the 5C issue. |

Lewisville, TX | Yup, the output is in 5C. The box evens tells you it is, if you look in the diagnostics, under Interface Status there is a "1" (enabled) for 5C. |
