[mythtv-users] Firewire stopped working...cable-co issue or local config?

Hey all -

I no longer seem to be able to get anything off the firewire port on my
DCT-6200.  I can still change the channel over firewire with 6200ch, but
that's it.

The node is still alive:

[root at vader: /usr/share/doc/mythtv-0.20/contrib]$ plugreport
Host Adapter 0
==============

Node 0 GUID 0x00023c015106d47e
------------------------------
libiec61883 error: error reading oMPR
libiec61883 error: error reading iMPR

Node 1 GUID 0x7ed406515106d47e
------------------------------
libiec61883 error: error reading oMPR
libiec61883 error: error reading iMPR

Node 2 GUID 0x000e5cfffe590c90
------------------------------
oMPR n_plugs=1, data_rate=2, bcast_channel=63
oPCR[0] online=1, bcast_connection=0, n_p2p_connections=1
        channel=2, data_rate=1, overhead_id=0, payload=376
iMPR n_plugs=0, data_rate=2


However:

[root at vader: /usr/share/doc/mythtv-0.20/contrib]$ ./firewire_tester -p -n
2 -r 5
Action: Test P2P connection 5 times, node 2, channel 2

[root at vader: /usr/share/doc/mythtv-0.20/contrib]$ ./firewire_tester -B -n
2 -r 5
Action: Attempt to fix broadcast connection 5 times, node 2

Broadcast Fix: Failed

This worked before.  I'm wondering whether this is a problem with my local
setup...I tried unplugging the firewire cable and the power to the STB and
trying it again, no joy.

Anyone else having this problem?

Bob
