[mythtv-users] Firewire no longer required on HD STBs

[Dean Collins]

Lol that's ok, it's only going to get more technical so the fat
overweight dinosaurs will have to get out eventually. (love the
grunt/groan joke btw)

In Australia the recent NBN announcement means that paytv companies will
be delivering content over a layer2 ethernet enabled device on the
nationwide common fiber network. 

If they cant get what firewire means then they have no hope
troubleshooting when this kit starts to get deployed in a few years.
