Re: Comcast/Motorola do $1billion purchase deal
The 6200 is not a DVR, its just a hi-def digital cable box. I can plug a firewire from the DCT-6200 to my Mac Mini. OS X instantly recognizes it as a DCT-6200 (you have to plug it in with the Mac off). I then use an application to record directly to the Mac. No hacks required. See »macteens.com/more.php?id=410_0_1_0_C
Subscribers of Shaw Cablesystems in Canada and Comcast in the US have the luxury of using the Motorola DCT-6200 Cable Receiver to get both standard and HD television content in their homes. What makes this one cable box special is the inclusion of Firewire (IEEE 1394) output ports on the back of the unit. Using a regular Firewire cable and two simple, freely available applications you may record whatever you shows you want right to your computer's hard drive. For users who have Media Center PC's already, the DCT-6200 Firewire ports only work on Mac OS X Panther based systems
