No; then it wouldn't be firewire. I think what you're asking is "are there any devices that take analog coaxial cable input and output over firewire". The answer to that is "yes and no". There are such devices (Pinnacle makes a bunch), however, typically they output DV (Digital Video), which is a minimally-compressed format. At this time, Myth does not support DV capture. The cable boxes in the US that have firewire connections output MPEG streams, which Myth does support.
