It seems the FCC has <a href="https://www.multichannel.com/news/fcc-douses-firewire-requirement-set-tops-ip-378067">provided a waiver</a> to this rule for boxes that allow connections over IP. Can you change channels over IP? If so, that would be better than firewire, IMO.</div><div><br></div></div></div>
