All cable boxes have a firewire port on the back to access the raw feed. It's illegal to distribute (upload) to someone else.

I wrote about BT back in May, but I’m just reiterating how cool it is. I don’t know who records the few TV shows I’ve been getting, either. I believe they’re in HDTV, but they’re without commercials and basically flawless. Thank you. [...] [...] The Poor Man’s Tivo: BitTorrent.

I have a ReplayTV DVR and it's a piece of cake with DVArchive to do anything you want, via Ethernet. I was hoping to replace it with the DCT6400, but I'm afraid it will be a big letdown. I'll have to download stuff I want to keep longterm with BitTorrent. I *HIGHLY* recommend the ReplayTV DVR; too bad they haven't continued that product line. Good Luck, and Thanks For All The Bits!
