I explicitly mentioned futureproofing in my message. That said, my
cable company's always offered all channels via FireWire, premium or
not, in the 4.3 years I've run MythTV, even through an acquisition; it
is not the only small cable company in the US that does this. I do not
worry myself to sleep at night thinking about it. In any case, it's
all beside the point, and has been since the HD-PVR's debut in April
2008.
