My assumption was that: 1/ most people don't connect multiple STB's on
the same firewire bus & 2/ those that do might prefer a bad frame over
a lost recording & 3/ those with multiple STB's on the same firewire
bus that prefer lost recordings or have some other way to avoid the
problem like your own script can disable the resets in mythtv-setup.

Steven, if you could incorporate whatever magic you're doing into the
internal firewire channel changer that would probably make a good
patch...
