On Feb 17th my cable company will switch to an all digital lineup. Wifey is pretty used to having three inputs to my MythBox in order to avoid recording conflicts (one via firewire, two analog). So obviously I need to find a solution before the switch.<br>
<br>I currently have a 4 port firewire card in my MythTV system. I haven't really dealt with the issue of firewire since early `07 when I first set it all up. I recall that using multiple cable STB's via firewire was problematical back then due to the issue of ports being reassigned dynamically if there was a reboot or other reset event.<br>
<br>I'd rather not have to turn another home system into a backend if I can avoid it. So my question for the guru's is this:<br><br>Does anyone have a reliable solution for using several firewire connected set top boxes on the same backend? If so, can you describe the setup and hardware used?<br>
