 These lines in the firewall needs to be changed to allow HDHomerun tuner
 to feed video stream and IR control.

 file:
 /etc/sysconfig/iptables

 -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp -dport 5000 -j ACCEPT
 -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp -dport 5002 -j ACCEPT
 -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp -dport 5004 -j ACCEPT

 to

 -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp -sport 5000 -j ACCEPT
 -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp -sport 5002 -j ACCEPT
 -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp -sport 5004 -j ACCEPT

 note; the only change is the -dport to -sport because the stream is
 comming FROM the HDHomerun to a random input port on MythTV.

 This change needs to be in the setup scripts? The clean install I did was
 not working at all until I turned off the firewall. No firewall is not an
 option for some networks. So I had to find the problems.
