Firewire capture with a motorola dct 6200 on shaw cable.

[johns0]

Just got a dct6200 and read a few older posts about doing firewire capture and was wondering if it can still be done with this older model or if shaw here in vancouver island disabled it or added encryption.

If it still can be done i'll buy a firewire card and give it a try.

I think you may know this, but I want to mention it anyway as someone may find this thread later via an Internet search and look at it.

No 64 bit version of Windows is able to do this type of firewire capture. 32 bit versions through Windows 7 do work. If you have a Linux server then it should work and Apple is also supported out of the box, although you may wish to find and install the FireRecord program to do your captures under Apple.

I am sorry but I do not know if this specific model used by Shaw works. You're probably just going to have to try. You should probably do that anyway as even if they do usually disable the ports, there's always a chance that a specific unit may not have that done due to oversight.
