The problem with firewire (at least as I understand it after recently looking this up and talking with Comcast) is that the FCC requirement ONLY applies to HDTV signals. You only get that firewire box if you pay for the package and the box. Oh yeah, and the box ships with Firewire disabled by default.
If you don't want to shell out the money for an HDTV box and package, you're out of luck with firewire.
Further FYI, I also asked Hauppauge about CableCard Tuners, they basically said they're too expensive and unstable, and so they don't plan on selling any in the near future. (Maybe if enough slashdotters and others showed vocal interest they might reconsider?)
I'd love to set up a Mythbox, but I'm stuck in this wonderful cable company created void where they are turning off analogue stations, won't allow you to view the digital signal without a box or CableCard, and have made it impossible to find a third-party cable box or tuner.
There is one flaw in your plan: Randomly generated music is sure to be levels above the tripe consistently put out by todays artists, and hence your music wouldn't match theirs.

post binary, hexadecimal, or other random mathematical/computer stuff around the halls. Something easy enough to solve, but cryptic enough to get attention.
It's an easy way to weed out the curious ones who will most likely be adept to learning tech from the jocks etc. who don't care in the least.
