Ubuntu 9.10
Mythtv .22 fixes

I also have a DCX3400 that shows as a DCX3425 in the actual software menu on
the cable box.  I am trying to get mine to work via firewire as well.  I
tried about all the settings available in mythtv-setup and have not been
able to get the video stream to work yet.  It does detect it so that is
promising.  Does anyone have a working setup with this device that they can
share for us?

For the channel changing script: Can you please elaborate on adding Firewire
IDs?  I tried adding in:

#define DCT3425_VENDOR_ID1 0x00002210
#define DCT3425_MODEL_ID1 0x0000e726

to the 6200ch.c and recompiling but still get the same error or:

$ sudo ./6200ch -n 0 -v 802
starting with node: 0
node 0: vendor_id = 0x00002210 model_id = 0x0000e726
node 1: vendor_id = 0x00001e8c model_id = 0x00000000
Could not find Motorola DCT-6200 on the 1394 bus.
