It seems that the FCC continues to "Fight for the Consumer" (editors
note: when they aren't too busy harrassing Stern or relaxing media conglomerate
restrictions)and this time they make it easier to get HDTV from your cable box.
In a <a
href="http://www.gizmodo.com/archives/fcc-requires-firewire-on-all-cable-boxes-015708.php">blog</a>
from <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com/">Gizmodo</a>. It seems that cable
companies are being forced by the FCC to add a firewire port to every cable box
for every consumer that wants it (starting April 1st).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
