[mythtv-users] DirectTV HD DVR

I re-installed myth yesterday to rip some DVDs and re-setup my
music/video library.  I got tired of comcast not giving me firewire
after several threats, so I switched back to directv for the quality.

I got 2 of the new HD DVRs (they suck for responsiveness), but they
record all the HD channels :)

After I start mythbackend now, myth logs into the dvr somehow.  When I
stop mythbackend, I get a message on the TV HD DVR screen that "user
Myth Media Player has logged off".

I did some packet dumps of the network and did not see anything but
broadcasts coming from the dvr to a multicast address - never did I see
anything about connection from my laptop (myth) to it,  but thought it
was nice if something is coming down the road to interface with it!

Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,

Greg
