I'll be anxiously awaiting you getting your new TV because this setup
sounds like EXACTLY what I want to do. Please let us (well, me :) ) know
as soon as you get it up and running with the new TV and any problems
you encounter along the way. In the meantime, I'm going to get on the
phone with my cable provider and see what they can tell me about the
FireWire output on my box. Thanks again for all the info.
