I have read that it is possible to transfer the files from the
Motorola DVR box that Comcast provides to a PC. The catch is that the
Ethernet port is disabled, so the only way is using the firewire port.

My DVR box came stock with a 120Gb hard drive. You should just ask
Comcast for a replacement box with the larger hard drive. This drive
fills up quickly also, if you record a lot of HD programming. You
really need to keep up on your watching to keep plenty of free space,
but fast forwarding through boring parts of shows, and/or commercials,
sure allows for much more programming to be viewed.

Have you found any newsgroups specifically for discussions about
Comcast?
