Is Firewire still an FCC requirement for Comcast boxes?

I had one with firewire that worked in 2016 but then I cut the cord and went with an OTA receiver.

Now I have comcast again, but I can't get a box with an operational firewire port.

Their ignorance and stonewalling is frustrating, so does anyone know if the firewire-enabled boxes are still required by law?

I think you will have very difficult time trying to find ANY provider (Comcast, D*, E*, AT&T, Verizon, TWC, etc.) that still offers an STB with a Firewire interface today.

Oh - Now there's a lead as that model number sounds familiar! Was that the little black box or was that the larger silver/gray beast? I want to say that I had a motorola DHC 3416, which was the large silver/gray beast, that worked. I later got a smaller black box that also worked and I'm wondering if that was the DCX-3200. Could be possible...
