    For the people getting Time Warner HD signal, what box have they provided for you (the Set Top Box)? Does it have DVI? Does it have Firewire?

    Cool - thanks guys! Any others, and specific model numbers, would be appreciated.

    FYI: I'm looking for this because Media Center can record HD from cable today with the right STB, using firewire to grab content, change channels, etc. That lets me ditch the HD TiVo, which I love but I love MCE more.

    I remember seeing USB on the back as well. But yes, I ran DVI to the TV and optical to the receiver.

    SWEET! That's the model I wanted to hear about, as I know that one works in other markets (even premium channels like HBO). MCE rocks, but I definitely gotta have instant channel changing (no IR blasters) and I want HDTV (no Svideo dump to MCE). Firewire gets all of that if they will just enable it... Any word on when?
