[mythtv-users] DCH-6416 Firewire capture

Is anyone consistently capturing Firewire from a DCH-6416 STB? I've
recently switched to cable and got 2 of these boxes. I've set them all
up as correctly as I can tell and can use test-mpeg2 to capture a
correct file from 1 of them (and the other if I power cycle the STB).
MythTV will typically record the first program fine, but then produce
zero byte files after that.
The firewire_tester and priming scripts don't seem to work with this
box since they were written for the 6200 boxes. I basically need help
priming the DCH-6416 boxes for consistent firewire capture.
Some additional info:
