I haven't taken a look at the code yet, but how feasable would it be to
enable MythTV to record from a firewire device?

The reason I ask is because some people on the AVS forum have had some
luck recording HD transport streams from Motorola 6200-series cable boxes
over the firewire port.

It's only at a proof-of-concept stage at this point, but it would be a
great alternative to the pcHDTV card if you want non-over-the-air HD
content.
