Good news. At least you know there is a working combination. I wonder...how does a rev. D MVP find its boot server in a "factory" setup? We know Hauppauge certainly doesn't have their users setup a custom configured DHCP server. And I didn't think the Hauppauge software includes a DHCP server (though it might). It seems likely that they have some made up protocol similar to the "relay service" used by the rev.

I doubt the MVP bootloader is dependent on a license key from the Sage software. > Is there a way to get this MediaMVP to work with mvpmc (given that I > have done all the usual required steps)? I think if you want to find a permanent solution that avoids running the SageTV software you'll need to break out a packet sniffer (Wireshark) running on the machine with SageTV and see what packets are being exchanged. So what's the problem with using SageTV to help bootstrap the MVP? Did you mention that it ends up with the wrong address for the TFTP server? If you've succeeded in getting mvpmc to boot, there should be a way to work around that. And if you can get a startup script to load via TFTP, you can forcibly set any other IP addresses you need. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/
