>From what I have seen and delt with, 6200s that come up as node 1 on 
firewire work best using a broadcast connections, and node 2's like p2p 
connection.

If you have a node 1, you should try doing the following and see if the 
last command is consistent in dumping mpeg2 from the 6200.

- run 'test-mpeg2 -r 1 > blah.ts' over and over until you get some mpeg2 
  data.
- plugctl -n 1 oPCR\[0\].channel=63
- plugctl -n 1 oPCR\[0\].bcast_connection=1
- test-mpeg2 > blah.ts
