[mythtv-users] HDHomeRun Zero Byte Recording but work fine through HDHomeRun GUI

[Joseph Fry]

>     Some pertinent information:
>>     - MythTV is configured to use the HDHomeRun tuners via their device

>>     - My BE is also the DHCP server in the network, and it assigns static
>>     IPs to the HDHomeRuns.  (My modem also acts as a DHCP server and it is
>>     a bit of a race condition as to which DHCP server responds when a DHCP
>>     lease is required though investigations have shown that the BE is much
>>     more likely to respond to DHCP requests).

What I don't understand is why your Cable Modem is on the same network
segment as your HDHR or PC's?  You don't have some sort of router/gateway
device?
