[mythtv-users] Hello all.. i'm the lastestmythnewb lookingfor advice :D

Noise is something you'll have to deal with...

However, it's not up to them to provide you with 
what you should legally receive - IEEE 1394 (firewire) 
unencrypted from their box to your machine.  In this 
case, firewire from their HD cable box to your 
mythbox.

It has nothing to do with being lucky.  It has to do with 
knowing what you are entitled to.  In that sense, you 
are their worst nightmare if they are unwilling to 
comply with federal law.

Mediacom will never fix their noise problem - won't happen, so i have
to
deal with it.

I live in Ames, IA and *none* of the hardware they send out is
customized - so i would get lucky if they have firewire ports
