I don't know about the non Motorola based areas but Charter is suppling 6200's with firmware version 7.15. This has the firewire enabled. Works great with my big screen Mits. and i have successfully recorded to a pc and a D-VHS with it. You are correct though that schedualling is a pain.
I thought UoP was a waste of time and money. Maybe my one class was not typical. Everything seemed to be about meeting minimum quantity of busy work and very little about learning anything new. I found most people just posting drivel in an effort to meet minimum requirements.

Actually the cable card is not free. it comes with an install fee (self install is not allowed) and a monthly fee usually in the $3-$6 range.
Actually Replay and Tivo made an agreement a couple of years ago as they both had key patents.
