I've never heard of static being recorded over firewire before.  It's
usually more of a works/doesn't work scenario.

I recommend not using MythTV to debug a new firewire connection.  Use
some of the standalone utilities to get it working, and then worry
about hooking up mythtv.  See the MythTV wiki page on firewire for
some suggestions, but be warned that a lot of info around on firewire
is out of date if you're using the newer (juju) firewire stack.
