[mythtv-users] Re: enabling firewire [a bit of topic]

[Mark Knecht]

Your boss may have to tell them that he has a piece of acceptable
1394-enabled end-point equipment, such as a 1394 TV. Look up a few of
the Mitsubishi model numbers and arm him with one of those.

If that doesn't work, THEN get tough with them as per the note from Steve.

Good luck,
Mark
