Comment(by Martin - mlp00 at optonline.net):

 Unfortunately this seems DOA - the change by my cable provider was just
 the first step. They moved to block the  firewire output for all the pay-
 for premium channels, which are the ones affected by this. At this point I
 can no longer test this (or record any of those channels). I'm still
 working the customer service lines to see if this is just something that
 some tech guy switched on, but I'm afraid that the block is here to stay.
 They were quick to pitch their own proprietary pay-for DVR. So unless the
 block goes away, this change is dead.
