I have had good success with Firewire, once I solved the "No Input
Received in 100 msecs" problem. Is it possible that you have a bad cable
connection? That may cause your firewire issues as well as your HD PVR
problems. What type of firewire problems do  you have? You mention audio
and video errors. How bad are they? Do you have failed recordings?

Personally I would use Firewire for channels that are not copy
restricted and HD PVR for those that are.
