I'll try your suggestions, but I'm 99% sure that the firewire output
on my cable STB is working.  My TV actually takes firewire as an
input, and if I run a ieee1394 cable from the STB to my TV (and switch
inputs on the TV), I can watch cable.  I can even change channels via
the TV's firewire.

I went ahead and posted to the linux1394 mailing list.  I'll let ya'll
know what I find out.

Thank you,
Matt
