[mythtv-users] Can't tune comcast 709 (KQED) over firewire (DCH3200) but can tune others (not 5c?)

I'm finding that even with massively crippled Comcast basic cable
(OTA) and MythTV, I still have more content to watch than time to
watch it.

Honestly, I see the cable industry setting themselves up for
self-destruct. They'd rather implode and lose everything than risk
losing some fraction of control over content. It's a repeat of the drm
defective-by-design we saw with plays-for-sure and all the other
protected music downloads.

> Good job comcast.

First alternative provider that can deliver a-la-carte channel service
via IP will mark the beginning of the end to the cable industry. I
can't wait.
