Based on what I see that I did years ago with my 6200ch.c file, it looks 
like I took existing vendor and model IDs and changed them to what my 
local box actually was:

  #define QIP7100_VENDOR_ID1 0x00002374
-#define QIP7100_VENDOR_ID2 0x000025f2
+#define QIP7100_VENDOR_ID2 0x005856e8
  #define QIP7100_MODEL_ID1  0x00008100
  #define QIP7100_MODEL_ID2  0x00000001
-#define QIP7100_MODEL_ID3  0x00008500
+#define QIP7100_MODEL_ID3  0x00008501


So in your case, in 6200ch.c I'd change:

#define DCX3200M_VENDOR_ID2 0x00cc7d37
#define DCX3200M_MODEL_ID2  0x0000fa05

to:

#define DCX3200M_VENDOR_ID2 0x00f40e83
#define DCX3200M_MODEL_ID2  0x00002322

and recompile and re-try.


Can you confirm that those were exactly the lines that you changed?


Also, looking at my mythtv box, I see that my "6200ch" is really a shell 
script that calls out to the real binary with a "-g 5856e8fffe54db04" 
argument (and some extra trickery to turn the box on if it happens to be 
off, e.g. after it receives a firmware update)

It's been years since I mucked with this stuff, but perhaps you need to 
be specifying the GUID for your device?
