For what its worth, I use the DCT-6200 and Firewire reliably. However,
I can't give you my system specifics, since my root partition of my HD
crashed yesterday, and I can't boot the system. However, it took a
while to get it to work right, and each system reboot (which thankfully
wasn't often) required a manual process. I was using the firewire port
built-in to the Foxconn motherboard.<br>
<br>
(1) Run plugreport: . Each time I rebooted, the DCT would show up
either in node 0 or node 1 (often changing per reboot). So, for each
reboot, I would have to re-run mythtvsetup and change the DCT-6200 node
if it had changed. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason as to why it
keeps changing nodes on reboots.<br>
<br>
(2) Get test-mpeg2 to work: On each reboot, I would need to run
"test-mpeg2 -r [NODE#]" mutiple times (This step is KEY!!) until I get
some output. You'll know when you get output, its basically a stream
of binary junk to stdout. If you don't see output after 1 second,
press ctrl-c and try again. With 10 tries, you'll get it to work.<br>
<br>
(3) Now start mythbackend, and it should work "reliably" until the next
reboot.<br>
<br>
Hope this is helpful. Once I rebuilt my machine with a new HD, I'll be
happy to answer specific config questions...<br>

<div>Was this using Myth from src?... or running the lastest RPMs
posted on ATrpms?

<br>
I'm running the latest "stable" (non-bleeding) RPMs, and have the same
problems as Curtis. <br>
