<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I’m
a two week old Mythtv noobie but I’ve learned a lot in these two weeks
with playing around with Mythtv. I have everything (so far) working except
getting Mythtv to grab video (and hopefully change the channels) over fire wire
to a SA3250 (digital cable). I’ve had to rebuild my machine about 3 or 4
times since I started and now I have a solid grasp on what I’m doing. Problem
is that now getting no packets from the SA3250! In the past I was able to run
firewire_test over a peer to peer setup and I was getting a very reliable
connection (but no video) from the SA3250. Now I’m getting absolutely nothing
and I’m beginning to wonder if I’m going to be able to get this
thing to work.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
