<div>What horrors have you heard? I have no problem with the cable in SF (comcast) aside from cost, and I doubt that is a comcast-centric (or as their commercials say, comtastic) issue. You also have the possibility of using RCN, which another user has reported outputs everything on firewire.

<div>I personally enjoy not having to use an IR-Blaster, and while my directv box I used several years ago also had a serial connector, I am not sure if modern ones do. On the other hand, all comcast boxes I have received either have a functioning serial or firewire connector.
