[mythtv-users] Can't tune comcast 709 (KQED) over firewire (DCH3200) but can tune others (not 5c?)

[I am on the list, but Cc of replies is appreciated]

Recently, my mythtv started failing to record some shows from KQED over
firewire (comcast 709 in the San Francisco Bay Area).

First, I made sure 709 works fine through the cable box alone.

Then I went in the diagnostic screen
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/How_to_use_a_Motorola_DVR/Configuration#How_To_Check_If_5C_DTCP_is_Enabled
(using remote, power button, ok/select, menu D11 while I'm on channel 709)

Screen #3 shows:
1394
Data Xmission Active
5c implementation: No
Copy control: Copy Free

So this implies that 5c is not active.

Yet, mythtv won't tune it. I used to have 0.21, just upgraded to 0.23 and no
progress.
Other channels (I use over 10) continue to work fine over firewire.

Any idea what else could be going on here?

Thanks,
Marc
