[mythtv-users] Seattle Comcast firewire not working as of today -- 5C?

I have been using Comcast DCT-6200 w/ firewire since April sometime. 
I got all channels including premium, no problems.

Starting today, I am only able to capture analog channels, and
occasionally local HD.  I had Monday Night Football set to record, and
that failed.

I am wondering if they have thrown the big 5C switch.  Anyone else
that HAD firewire working in the Comcast Seattle market, but now its
not?

In the advanced menu  (power button, then ok/menu button)  under the
Interface Status section, there is a field: 5C implementation.  So
far, for channels that I can record, that field is 0, for channels
where recoding now fails it is 1.

Anyone else see this?

I haven't called Comcast yet to complain.  I will do that tomorrow,
but something tells me that won't get me anywhere.
