I tried your script and it doesn't work for me - I changed the details
of course (guid) and am using the sa3250ch channel changer.

I also re-compiled my kernel using 2.6.24 based on the previous comments
about the driver not working in < 2.6.23 properly. Still nothing. I
can reboot into Windows, fire up vlc and it works but now no matter what
I've tried, I can't get Linux to give me the expected results.
Here is my plugreport details:
Host Adapter 0
==============
Node 0 GUID 0x001106664555555c
------------------------------
libiec61883 error: error reading oMPR
libiec61883 error: error reading iMPR
Node 1 GUID 0x001cea1268ae0000
------------------------------
oMPR n_plugs=1, data_rate=2, bcast_channel=63
oPCR[0] online=1, bcast_connection=0, n_p2p_connections=1
channel=1, data_rate=1, overhead_id=0, payload=146
iMPR n_plugs=0, data_rate=2
firewire_tester fails whether using p2p or broadcast. I know I'm on a
clear channel that works since its the same channel that just worked in
Windows.
Any suggestions from anyone?
