Oh, I forgot to mention that Samsung has on their website a collection of zipped "open source" files, which contain something called busybox. I guess this is supposed to help developers somehow? I downloaded and installed busybox, but I have no idea how it relates to the STB. It seems to be a stripped-down Linux command interpreter.<div>

Cablevision paid me a visit today, to replace a malfunctioning Scientific Atlanta Explorer SA4200HD STB with the replacement model, a Samsung SMT-5320. The technician told me these are pretty new, and to expect some updates to be downloaded to the box. I had the old box running nicely with a firewire channel changer script. When I power cycled my MythTV system and the STB, I could not see any firewire information using the plugreport command. When I look at dmesg, I see the following<div>
<br></div><div><div>[ 2502.376997] ieee1394: The root node is not cycle master capable; selecting a new root node and resetting...</div><div>[ 2502.648689] ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023</div></div><div>
<br></div><div>At this point, I'm not even sure if firewire is enabled. Has anyone configured MythTV to work with this STB? I am still on Mythbuntu 10.04.1 LTS, MythTV.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br>
