I have a digital cable box made by SONY. It includes two IEEE Firewire ports. Whats the chances that I can capture video through one of the ports? I'd like to digitally record shows and burn them for later viewing...the manual provided by Cablevision labels the port as "For later use."


I'm not sure whether to invest in a firewire card and try it or an "USB instant DVD" card (converts s-video analog to MPEG2 digital)
