I'm looking to be able to utilize the firewire output from my cable box (Comcast is the provider) to view HDTV content LIVE on my iMac. I have Elgato 250 Plus, but it is only capable of OTA digital content and analog cable signals but no HDTV.

I've done a bit of google'ing and forum searching, and I've found a few outdated links detailing recording HD content by utilizing the firewire connection but nothing for watching HD content live via the firewire connection from the cable box.

Anyone that can speak from personal experience of getting something like this to work or not?
