Guys, I have set up my 6412 with a new Cyberhome 1600 DVD recorder via the IEEE 1394/Firewire. It works!! Even HD works, the picture plays in theater mode. This little DVD recorder was $96 at Circuit City. The thing even records in DVD-R even though it advertises DVD+R only. Not too many that can record in both formats.

Anyway it works fine and you can't beat the price. I am testing the recording with all the movie channels (HBO, Starz,Showtime), I'll get back to you on the testing results.
