Jon:

Actually, the first TiVo only had 14 hours of recording time (at the lowest setting), using a 13.6GB hard drive. I should know, as I still have mine.

As to the Firewire, SATA, USB 2.0, and Ethernet port on this new unit, the first DCT6412 I had when I was with Comcast for a few months had all of those, but the USB 2.0 ports and Ethernet ports were apparently never enabled for any function. There were some discussions the SATA port was enabled, but before I had a chance to test it, the unit had to be replaced, and the next unit was an older unit that lacked the SATA port and had DVI instead of HDMI.

At least the Firewire port was enabled, and worked fine for spooling off analog channels (i.e., below 100) and the only unencrypted digital channels (HD locals) to my PC. Oddly enough, the VOD content was also unencrypted (at least at that time).
