Also using test-mpeg2 you can use your remote to set it to a channel and make sure you are recording video before you try it in mythtv-setup.</blockquote><div><br>Ok, this is interesting. The PC had been off for a couple days. After turning it on I ran firewire_tester succesfully:
<br><br>[root@magic contrib]# ./firewire_tester -p -n 0 -r 5<br>Action: Test P2P connection 5 times, node 0, channel 0<br>P2P: Testing...Success, 226 packets received<br>P2P: Testing...Success, 631 packets received<br>P2P: Testing...Success, 258 packets received
<br>P2P: Testing...Success, 257 packets received<br>P2P: Testing...Success, 259 packets received<br><br>I then ran test-mpeg2 > test.mpg and was able to view the captured mpeg in mplayer. Everything good, I fired up Myth and tried watching live tv. Same result - It would tune to channel 560 and then dump me back to the myth interface, same errors as before.
<br><br>But I decided to test recording for the heck of it. I went to manage recordings - scheduled recordings and told it to record SNL. I let it run for a few seconds and tried watching the recording - Blank screen. I manually changed the channel via the cable box remote, and surprisingly, video started to show up. Even more interesting, it was Cinemax HD. I cycled through channels via the remote and am able to watch all the premium channels, both HD and non HD. The non HD channels have some tearing with a Prebuffering Pause error in the terminal, but I'm not worried about that for now.
<br><br>Right now I'm trying to figure out why it won't let me watch Live TV or succesfully change channels. Any ideas?<br><br></div><br></div><br>
