| Post subject: | Problems getting HDVT with firewire & Motorola 6412 PVR |
I am trying to get HDTV recording working with a firewire connection to the Motorola 6412 PVR box -- so far, no luck. I am using Knoppmyth R5A16 install and I am getting the following error on the logs: Quote: 2006-01-19 21:20:11.277 Firewire: Initializing Port: 0, Node: 1, Speed: 100Mbps 2006-01-19 21:20:11.280 Firewire: Creating P2P Connection with Node: 1 2006-01-19 21:20:11.362 Firewire: Changing Speed 200Mbps -> 100Mbps 2006-01-19 21:20:26.362 Firewire: No Input in 15 seconds [P:0 N:1] (select) 2006-01-19 21:20:26.397 Couldn't read data from the capture card in 15 seconds.

If I dileberately change the node to the wrong node number, the error changes quite a bit. My assessment is that I am getting through to the bo for some level of communcation, but perhaps not consistantly? I've tried both "p2p" and "broadcast" communcation on the firewire channel -- doesn't solve the problem the way it seemed to for some others. Any help would be greatly appreciated. marc |

X, returned the 6412, as I don't really like it as a PVR anyway and exchanged it for a 6200. Same problem. Would you mind running "plugreport" on your machine and posting the result? (I know from your other posts that you are running this config.) When I try to run "6200ch", it tells me there isn't a 6200 box connected. Marc |

It's working! I made two changes: 1. Winds up I needed comcast to activate the box to get the digital channels to work. 2. I changed the "Firewire connection type" to "Broadcast". It now appears to be working very consistantly, and I am able to record both hidef and non-hidef channels. This is very cool! Marc |
