</div>You might be able to get it to work with another setting. When I set up my<br>
DCX3200-M in MythTV 0.21, there was no matching setting in the setup menu. I<br>
selected whatever seemed closest at the time and then told Myth to use an<br>
external channel-change script. This script in turn called a modified version<br>
of the 6200ch program, the source code for which ships with MythTV. I just<br>
needed to add some FireWire IDs to the source code so that the program would<br>
recognize my cable box. This worked fine, and in fact I've not tried doing<br>
anything else with 0.22.<br>

<br>I also have a DCX3400 that shows as a DCX3425 in the actual software menu on the cable box. I am trying to get mine to work via firewire as well. I tried about all the settings available in mythtv-setup and have not been able to get the video stream to work yet. It does detect it so that is promising. Does anyone have a working setup with this device that they can share for us?<br>
<br>For the channel changing script: Can you please elaborate on adding Firewire IDs? I tried adding in:<br><br>#define DCT3425_VENDOR_ID1 0x00002210<br>#define DCT3425_MODEL_ID1 0x0000e726 <br><br>to the 6200ch.c and recompiling but still get the same error or:<br>
