Sorry to be so spammy, but here is my final update of the night:<br>
<br>
I tried playing the sample I recorded from TNTHD with MythVideo
(internal player) and it works just fine. But when I try to tune an HD
channel, I just get a bunch of "FireRec, Error: TS packet out of sync."
messages and then it quits. Worse yet, when I try to watch analog TV, I
get a video that is only the left half to two-thirds of the screen.
Also, the sound is played at about 1.5x pitch for analog TV.<br>
<br>
Bizarre and infuriating. This means that if I simply tune the box to
the channel I want and cat the firewire output to a file, I can record
whatever I want. But myth can't automate this for me.<br>

<pre wrap="">Actually here's an exciting update!
I AM able to receive the video stream from myth. It seems that the
connection is just spotty and unreliable, as others have described.
However, this is interesting: I am also able to receive unencrypted
premium channels. Right now I have a sample from Lord of the Rings from
TNTHD. The format is weird, but it's MPEG. Mplayer complains about too
many packets, and also I can't yet get it to work under Myth...any thoughts?

<pre wrap="">For anyone who has successfully gotten the DCT 6200 working under Myth,
can you suggest what might be the problem:
* The box successfully communicates with the TV over Firewire, and I get
all the HD content at HD resolutions.
* I can use plugctl and plugreport to get information about the
connection to the box, and firewire_tester to ping the box.
* test-mpeg2 produces no video, but no warning or error messages.
What could be the problem? Please don't say the box simply refuses to
produce video for myth because of some DTCP issues. That would be
completely expected, considering that you have to be an illogical
bastard if you want to make or sell one of these boxes.
Jesse.
