I'm running FC4 following Jarod's (sp?) guide.  As for firewire 
pointers, not a whole lot.  ATRPMS has all you need now (not so the 
first time I tried, but its all in there now), and the guide is pretty 
much spot on for getting started.  The cable box I have is a DCT 6200, 
and other than the node changing on me once in a while, it ran fine.  I 
had to take it down though, as I still don't have the WAF (channel 
changes are ssslllllooooowww, and she still wants to surf channels).  So 
I'm not sure if I would have ran into any other problems with it.

Jeff.
