[mythtv-users] Firewire success stories?

On a side note, my cable provider appears to have recently (with a new
firmware push to the STB, I think) blocked the HD channels from the
firewire output.  When I attempt to record I end up with a few hundred
kb worth of data instead of a few gigs.  Running dvbsnoop on captured
output from an attempt at HD and an SD recording (which still works
fine) seems to indicate that the HD output is scrambled - at least, the
transport_scrambling_control field is set to non-zero values on a lot of
the packets.  If anyone is interested in helping me determine exactly
what they did, I can provide the output of dvbsnoop and/or the short .ts
clips :)
