Martin,

Thanks for chasing this down because they definitely changed something. 
Firewire stopped working in Edmonton a week ago but it is all back up
now.  FYI - all the HD channels between 200 and 214 work here (using a
DCT-6214 and DCT-6200)  I haven't checked the state of the CCI flag yet
(actually I didn't know it existed until I read this thread).
