We need a thread for those who want to get 1394 working in cable boxes to discuss what sorts of actions are needed. Maybe a list of addresses to send complaints to, effective strategies in dealing with cablecos etc.

I don't have a problem with movies being sold with even the most restrictive consumer limits, pay per person to watch and no recording allowed, the rules for watching in a movie theater, as long as the restrictions are clear to the consumer so people don't accidently buy something like the old DivX with its pay for it like a DVD, then keep paying later to watch it.
