For the last month plus, my firewire capability has stopped work
for exactly the same reason.  I had it working for almost 3 years

I too would love to hear if anyone has solved this.  BTW:  see thread

What are you using for a channel change script? 6200ch? If so, any chance
that Comcast changed the Vendor ID or Model ID in your STB to something new
with the update?
