1. Depends on if your cable operator has enabled the feature on your particular box.

2. Firewire and HDMI both pass DRM. Ideally youd want to just get into the box via firewire and transfer the file over. Does not work for the premium stuff because of the DRM.

3. Your best option is to use component and dump out, but there are limitations there.

If you are on a MAC then go out and get the XfFirewireSDK from Apple. It's free. I've used i tto interface with my set top, can record non DRM content, control the set top, change channels etc.
