[mythtv-users] Arris / Motorola DCX3200-M and 6200ch

[glen]

i am on spectrum with same box in los angeles area and mine is
working. 
when unplugging the firewire cable and replugging it does dmesg out
show a device being created ?
if so then possibly the vendor id has changed and needs to be added.

if not then it may be blocked.
