With Firewire, I wasn't able to get CBS or for either through my
DCT-6200.  (I'm also in the Bay Area using Comcast.)  Most likely,
they've slapped 5C encryption on the channels, and I'm too tired to
fight them anymore... That's why I'm glad I finally setup my HD-PVR.
Those problems are history...

Yep, it is.  Just use the channel editor...
