As far as I understand, most Canadian cable companies disable the firewire 
port.  I don't know about Rogers.  I use ir blasters for more SD recorders and 
almost never miss a channel change.  I haven't heard anything about disabling 
component out. 

A good place to ask might be the Canadian digital home forums.  There are lots 
of helpful people with good technical info there, just stick to their terms of 
use (eg no piracy talk).

Here is a link to the Rogers sub-forum;

Hope this helps,
