Post subject:  Problem with one channel (CBS-HD) on Comcast via Firewire

Since moving from Zap2It to Schedules Direct months ago, everything has been great except for one annoying problem in that through Firewire to a DCT-6200 box for Comcast I cannot record anything on the HD version of CBS.

The channel change happens, but it doesn't record. The other HD and SD channels work fine for recording via the DCT-6200. It fails for both live TV playback and for recordings. I usually have to use plugreport to fix the firewire connection after selecting this channel.

This channel was working fine before with Zap2It. Anyone seen this problem before? Where should I be looking to debug it?

I'm configured with the following cards:
PVR-250
HD-3000 (OTA)
Firewire to DCT-6200
KnoppMyth R5E50 (I think - box at home, me at work)

I really want to get this working as the OTA recording has been flaky recently due to weather conditions I think and some upcoming football games are on CBS.

There's an indication that CBS may require that their content can't be captured over 1394: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthre ... 394&page=6

Very odd, especially since, as the avsforum member says, they don't interfere with QAM capture.
