</blockquote><div><br>Comcast in Albuquerque considers any HD channel whish is not a "local", to be premium. So, I am talking about DiscoveryHD, TNTHD, ESPNHD, etc. I could also record SD digital channels this way, such as BBCAmerica.
<br><br>On January 4th 2007, they turned on "5C copy once" for all digital channels except "locals", which killed my ability to record via firewire. I took my cable box back the next day, and have not had it since.
