#3364: Pacemicro STB (TDC775D) not working
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  anonymous  |       Owner:  ijr    
     Type:  defect     |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  minor      |   Milestone:  unknown
Component:  mythtv     |     Version:  0.20   
 Severity:  medium     |  
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 A mythtv backend/frontend that has worked perfectly with a Motorola
 DCT-6200 series STB over firewire for some time.  Local cable company has
 switched to Pace (TDC775D) STBs.  Swapped the Motorola for the Pace on the
 same mythtv box for testing.

 A run of "test-mpeg2" generates a mpeg ts file that can be viewed in
 mythplayer, so firewire out is functioning and seems to generate a valid
 mpeg2 transport stream.  Using the mythsetup firewire DCT-6200 preset
 results in accurate channel changes for scheduled recordings.  However,
 recordings and liveTV are not working correctly. LiveTV fails after about
 10 seconds, with a "socket went unconnected" error in the mythbackend log.
 Scheduled recordings generate a zero k file that continue to be "written"
 to until the recording schedule ends or is canceled.  Using the "other"
 firewire option in mythsetup doesn't work at all.

 Daniel suggested submitting a ticket with a 15 second transport stream and
 the mythbackend log of an attempted scheduled recording, both are
 attached.
