I went through a fight with the FCC, the ieee1394 trade organization,
eff, and comcast about this.  Comcast's argument is that it must be
CBS and FOX that are putting 5C on it cause comcast just passes down
whatever the broadcaster sends them.  I think it is a bunch of bull
and FCC regulations require them to pass the OTA channels in such a
way as for them to be available on the firewire port, which they
aren't.  After months of fights (this was quite a while ago) I got no
where and gave up.  You are welcome to have another go at it.
