[mythtv-users] Help selecting firewire cable?

[William Munson]

I recently got a DCT6416 III cable box and want to connect it to my myth 
box which has a built in firewire port however I am confused by the 
various pin options. The DCT has a pair of plugs labeled IEEE 1394 which 
I understand are 6 pin and on the back of my pc there is a plug that 
looks like a stretched letter D. Is this a 4 pin plug?

Also I know the DCT6416 III is a dvr box, my local comcast store is out 
of the basic HD settop boxes at the moment. I am hoping that I will 
still be able to control the box with the firewire code in SVN. Has 
anyone had any luck with this box?

TIA,
Bill
