I no longer have the info handy but you should be able to find several links

2-3 months ago.

What laws should I wave in their face? I thought there was on, but I dont
konw which. All I'm really concerned with at this point is the OTA channels,
the rest would be nice, but I want the network broadcasts the most.

Sorry for the top post.
You can, if you bang on them long enough and wave the law in their face, get
a firewire enabled box but all you will be able to receive is the local OTA
content. Here in Rochester anything in the digital package is blocked. As
far as TW is concerned, the only option for capturing all content is to rent
their SA HD-DVR box which is a miserable device. Search the web for all the
people who bitch about the box and its tendancy to not record what you tell
it to.

Ok, i just got off the phone with Time Warner for a third time, and here's
what I was told. They told me they don't provide any enabled firewire ports
due to copyright laws. I thought they had to provide one if it was requested
due to some other law? Does anyone on here have Time Warner and successfully
gotten a firewire HD box from them? If so, how did you get them to give it
to you? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as these morons are really
starting to get to me. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I specifically requested it twice, and still no luck. I'm going to
call them today and see if I can go to another office and pick one up.
Hopefully that will help.

At least in Rochester, you have to specifically request the firewire
enabled boxes. And then, it's all luck as to whether you get all the
channels.
