I put in another card, and same problem:

After this, the connection is dead until I manually reset it:
myth:~# firewire_tester -P 1 -b -n 1 -r 1
Action: Test broadcast 1 times, node 1, channel 62
Broadcast: Testing...libiec61883 warning: iec61883_cmp_create_bcast_output: Failed to get the oPCR[0] plug for node 1.
iec61883_cmp_create_bcast_output failed
Seeing that the DCH-3200 is an explicit choice of firewire STB in
mythtv-setup, it has to work for some.
Any idea what's going on then?
Thanks,
Marc
