Default Firewire or HDMI?


I hate to give the cop-out answer, but it will depend. Mainly on the
HD/PVR box. I'll presume it's from your cable company.

Firewi Many cable boxes have ports, but some are not even enabled or
require 5c encryption in order to receive content. It may not pass
analog channels as well

HDMI: Some cable box/TV combos have a hard time negotiating HDMI
connections so they will not work or be flaky.

Right now HDMI is probably your best bet assuming a search on the cable
box + tv combo does not reveal any issues.
