[mythtv-users] Firewire with Comcast SA 8300HD?

[Chris Weiland]

I tried to get it working with my 8300HD.  The best I could do was about 2-3
seconds worth of recording right after changing channels manually.  This was
using the test-mpeg utility.  You should be able to trade in you 8300HD for
a 3250 or 4200, which DO work.
